PagerDuty alert integration for access control connects critical access-control events — forced-door alarms at a server room, controller tamper alerts, duress / panic-button activations, reader offline conditions, and access-platform outages — to PagerDuty's enterprise incident-response platform, which routes those events through on-call rotations, escalation policies, and multi-channel notification (mobile push, SMS, voice call, email) to the responsible security engineer immediately. Emirtech Technology, founded in 2018 and operating from M44, Mussafah Industrial Area, Abu Dhabi, configures the access-control side of this integration as an ADMCC-approved electronic-security contractor across Abu Dhabi Emirate (Abu Dhabi city, Al Ain, Al Dhafra). On the access-control side we map alarm classes, configure webhook endpoints, build the JSON payload using PagerDuty Events API v2 (routing key, dedup key, severity, summary, source, custom details), implement retry / back-off logic for transient failure, and provide alternative integration paths via email gateway or generic REST API where the access platform lacks native webhook support. On the PagerDuty side — typically owned by the customer's IT or DevOps team — services, escalation policies, on-call schedules, and incident workflows are configured. We assist with payload mapping, severity convention (critical / error / warning / info), dedup-key design to prevent alert storms during sustained faults, and event-rule filtering. Alternative platforms we configure the same access-control-side webhook against include Atlassian Opsgenie, Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps, now part of Cisco), and xMatters (Everbridge). Atlassian has stopped selling Opsgenie (4 June 2025) and ends support on 5 April 2027, so new projects usually target another platform. Honest scope: we configure the access-control-side technical integration — payload, transport, retry — and we are not a PagerDuty Authorised Implementation Partner, not an Opsgenie / Splunk On-Call / xMatters partner, and not an authorised PagerDuty distributor in the UAE. Customer PagerDuty subscription, licensing and account governance remain with the customer.

Integration capabilities
Configure access-control-side webhook to PagerDuty Events API v2 endpoint with routing key, dedup key, severity, summary and source fields — TLS 1.2+, retry / back-off on 429 and 5xx, structured custom_details for incident context.
Map forced-door at server room, controller tamper, duress / panic button, reader offline, door held open and access-platform outage to PagerDuty severity tiers (critical / error / warning) with descriptive summaries and incident-source identification.
Design dedup_key strategy to coalesce repeated alarms (sustained tamper, door held open) into a single PagerDuty incident — prevent alert storms during continuous fault conditions while preserving distinct incidents for separate doors and events.
Configure equivalent webhook integration against Atlassian Opsgenie, Splunk On-Call (VictorOps / Cisco) or xMatters (Everbridge) where the customer's incident-response standard is not PagerDuty — same access-control-side payload shape.
From critical-event taxonomy through webhook configuration, dedup-key design and runbook handover — we deliver the access-control-side integration and document the payload contract for your IT / DevOps team. Call +971 55 651 7843 or request a free PagerDuty integration consultation.
How we run the integration
Workshop with security and IT to define which access events page on-call (forced door, tamper, duress, outage) versus log-only — agree severity tiers, source naming, and dedup-key convention before any webhook is configured.
Configure the access platform's webhook / HTTP-notification module — endpoint URL, headers, routing key, TLS settings, retry behaviour — and validate Events API v2 acceptance with synthetic test events through curl or Postman.
Where the access platform cannot emit native HTTPS webhooks (legacy controllers, restricted firmware), configure SMTP relay to the PagerDuty integration email address with structured subject and body for parsable incident creation.
Document payload contract, sample event JSON, severity matrix, dedup-key logic and known limitations — handed to the customer's IT / DevOps team who own the PagerDuty services, escalation policies and on-call schedules.
PagerDuty integration straddles the boundary between physical access control and IT incident response. To prevent confusion about responsibility and credentials, this is the honest scope of what Emirtech configures and what remains outside our remit.
Where the customer needs broader incident-response advisory, escalation-policy design or PagerDuty business-service modelling, we recommend engaging a PagerDuty Authorised Implementation Partner alongside our access-control-side webhook configuration.
Common questions
No. Emirtech is not a PagerDuty Authorised Implementation Partner and not an authorised PagerDuty distributor in the UAE. We configure the access-control-side webhook integration — payload, routing key, dedup key, transport, retry — against PagerDuty Events API v2 as a customer-side technical integration. Customer PagerDuty subscription, services, escalation policies and on-call schedules remain with the customer or their PagerDuty partner. We hold no manufacturer-level credential of our own.
Pageable events typically include forced door at a sensitive area (server room, vault, MDF / IDF), controller tamper, duress / panic-button activation, reader / controller offline beyond a threshold, and access-platform outage. Log-only events include normal access grants, ordinary access denials, and routine door-held-open warnings. We workshop the taxonomy with security and IT before any webhook is configured so PagerDuty incident volume remains actionable.
Through dedup-key design. PagerDuty Events API v2 coalesces incoming events sharing the same dedup_key into a single open incident until it is resolved, so a sustained tamper or door-held-open condition emits one incident rather than thousands. We design the dedup_key from door ID + event class so distinct doors and event types remain separate, while repeated occurrences of the same fault on the same door deduplicate.
We configure an email-gateway fallback. PagerDuty (and Opsgenie, xMatters, Splunk On-Call) accept structured email at integration addresses, parsing subject and body into incidents. For legacy access controllers or firmware that lacks HTTPS webhook support, we configure SMTP relay through an authenticated mail server with structured subject and body so PagerDuty creates the incident with comparable fidelity to a native webhook integration.
Yes. The access-control-side webhook payload is conceptually similar across these platforms — endpoint, authentication header, JSON body, severity field, dedup or alias key. We can configure the same critical-event mapping against Atlassian Opsgenie, Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps, now Cisco) or xMatters (Everbridge) where that is the customer's incident-response standard. Atlassian has stopped selling Opsgenie (4 June 2025) and ends support on 5 April 2027, so new projects usually target another platform. We are not an authorised partner of any of these vendors.
Call +971 55 651 7843 or submit the form at emirtech.ae/request-quotation.html. Share your access-control platform / version, the critical-event list you want paged, your PagerDuty service routing key (or alternative platform), and site addresses across Abu Dhabi Emirate. We will return an itemised written proposal covering event taxonomy workshop, webhook configuration, test events, dedup-key design and runbook handover.
