Delete Service

⚠️ Warning: Deleting a service removes all associated incidents and integrations.

python plugins/pagerduty/skills/pagerduty-incidents/scripts/pagerduty_client.py services delete --id PXXXXX

Always confirm with user before deleting and consider:

1. Are there open incidents? (list first)
2. Are integrations configured? (may need manual cleanup)
3. Is this a production service? (double-check!)

Service Integration Patterns

CloudWatch Integration

After creating a service, guide integration setup:

Service created: identity-verification-service (PXXXXX)

Next steps for CloudWatch integration:
1. Get service integration key from PagerDuty
2. Configure CloudWatch alarm action:
   - SNS topic → PagerDuty endpoint
   - Integration key in URL
3. Test with sample alarm
4. Verify incident creation

API Integration

For custom monitoring tools:

Service created: wallet-service (PXXXXX)

API integration setup:
1. Create integration: Services → wallet-service → Integrations → Add
2. Select "Events API v2"
3. Copy integration key
4. Add to Lambda Powertools configuration:
   POWERTOOLS_SERVICE_NAME: wallet-service
   PAGERDUTY_INTEGRATION_KEY: <integration-key>
5. Test with: aws lambda invoke --function-name <name> --payload '{}'

Email Integration

For email-based alerts:

Service created: checkout-service (PXXXXX)

Email integration (auto-generated):
1. Service email: [email protected]
2. Add to monitoring tool alert destinations
3. Test: Send email with subject containing "CRITICAL" or "WARNING"
4. Verify incident creation

LLM Value-Add Features

Service Dependency Mapping

When viewing services, correlate with SLED components:

Found 5 Infiquetra services:
- wallet-service (PXXXXX) → SLED component CI2408590
- identity-service (PYYYYY) → SLED component CI2408591
- checkout-service (PZZZZZ) → SLED component CI2408592

Dependencies:
- checkout-service depends on wallet-service and identity-service
- Incidents in wallet-service may affect checkout-service

Service Health Dashboard

Summarize service health:

{
  "team": "Infiquetra (YOUR_TEAM_ID)",
  "services": {
    "healthy": 3,
    "warning": 1,
    "critical": 1
  },
  "critical_services": [
    {
      "name": "wallet-service",
      "id": "PXXXXX",
      "open_incidents": 2,
      "status": "critical",
      "last_incident": "2026-02-26T14:30:00Z"
    }
  ],
  "recommendations": [
    "Check wallet-service - multiple open incidents",
    "Review identity-service escalation policy - using deprecated policy"
  ]
}

Configuration Audit

Compare service configurations:

Escalation Policy Audit:
✓ 3 services using current policy (YOUR_POLICY_ID)
⚠ 2 services using deprecated policy (P0G40L1)
  - legacy-service (PXXXXX)
  - old-api-service (PYYYYY)

Recommendation: Update deprecated services to YOUR_POLICY_ID

Service Naming Conventions

Enforce Infiquetra naming standards:

Service name suggestion:
- Current: "Wallet API"
- Recommended: "wallet-service"
- Reason: Follows Infiquetra kebab-case convention, includes '' prefix

Update service name? (y/n)

Service Lifecycle Management

New Service Checklist

When creating a service, provide a complete checklist:

✓ Service created: checkout-service (PXXXXX)

Setup checklist:
[ ] Configure CloudWatch integration
[ ] Set up API integration key in Lambda
[ ] Add service to SLED component registry
[ ] Document service in Dev Hub
[ ] Test incident creation flow
[ ] Add service to team runbook
[ ] Configure auto-resolution rules
[ ] Set up alert grouping

Service Deprecation

When deleting a service, ensure safe deprecation:

Service deletion safety check for wallet-service (PXXXXX):
⚠ Open incidents: 2 (resolve first!)
⚠ Active integrations: 3 (cleanup required)
✓ No recent incidents (30 days)

Recommended steps:
1. Resolve/reassign open incidents
2. Disable integrations
3. Remove from monitoring tools
4. Update documentation
5. Archive in SLED
6. Delete service

Proceed? (y/n)

Integration with Other Tools

SLED Component Linking

After creating a service:

Service created: wallet-service (PXXXXX)

Would you like to:
1. Link to existing SLED component
2. Create new SLED component
3. Skip (link later)

Recommended: Link to CI2408590 (wallet-service)

Rally Story Tracking

For feature-related services:

Service created for new feature: vehicle-handoff-service

Would you like to:
1. Link to Rally story/epic
2. Create implementation checklist in Rally
3. Add service details to PRR documentation

Error Handling

Common Errors

1. Duplicate Service Name:

   {
     "error": true,
     "message": "Service with name 'wallet-service' already exists",
     "status_code": 400
   }
   

   Solution: Use a unique name or update existing service

2. Invalid Escalation Policy:

   {
     "error": true,
     "message": "Escalation policy PXXXXX not found",
     "status_code": 404
   }
   

   Solution: List escalation policies to find valid ID

3. Service Not Found:

   {
     "error": true,
     "message": "API error: 404",
     "status_code": 404
   }
   

   Solution: Verify service ID with services list

Best Practices

Service Naming

• Use lowercase with hyphens: wallet-service
• Include `` prefix for team services
• Be descriptive: vehicle-checkout not checkout
• Match repository names for traceability

Service Organization

• One service per microservice/component
• Group related services with shared escalation policy
• Use clear descriptions (include tech stack, purpose)
• Keep service count manageable (combine minor components)

Escalation Policy Selection

• Production services: Use YOUR_POLICY_ID (Infiquetra production policy)
• Development/staging: Use dev-specific policy
• Critical services: Consider dedicated policy with faster escalation
• Shared services: Use team-specific policy

Output Format

All commands return JSON:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {...},
  "message": "Optional success message"
}
