Json response via HTTP POST

We're sending alerts to pagerduty via the pagerduty events v2 api which is working fine. What I want to know is how to log the response code pagerduty sends back. This is so if we get a message other than http 200, then someone will get alerted that there is a problem.

So I haven't tested this out but if you have SAM then you could possibly use a script based log file monitor to keep an eye on the alert actions log file? It's a little bit roundabout but just watch that file for whatever the error string looks like.

Thanks, I completely forgot about monitoring the log file.

For reference this is the file where logs are kept when alerts fail:

C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\ActionsExecutionAlert.log

I'm not certain on how to capture it within SAM or via the servers capabilities, but this puts me in the right direction. When I get to a solution I'll update this.

There's a log file parser template that I think may suit your purpose
