I have absolutely no idea why PD doesn't have a big button which stops all PD notifications the moment you press it. There are very few events in life more stressful then dealing with an incident, people on the call and having your phone alerting and ringing all the frigging time. I was once told to mute myself on incident bridge because all that alerting was not only super iritating for me, but for others too. I was supposed to fix the problem but I was so distracted with alerts I wanted to snap the phone in two and punch a random PD manager in the face.
"Yes PagerDuty, I now our infra is melting, please shut the fuck up and let me do my job."
PD does have a feature IIRC "intelligent alert grouping" which will group new alerts and not display more of those. So it makes it relatively easy to snooze group of alerts for X period of time so it makes it much quieter. Unfortunately, this is locked as a feature paid extra. But still, they need a way to tell PD to stop alerting.
With All Quiet you can acknowledge an incident. It will then stop pinging you and your colleagues. Also incidents and their triggers are idempotent, so All Quiet won't create new incidents when they're triggered several times by your monitoring solution.
