How to migrate from PagerDuty to Xurrent IMR

Switching tools can feel like a big task, so we built a migration tool to do the heavy lifting for you. It allows you to copy your existing teams, schedules, and policies from PagerDuty directly into Xurrent IMR.

The best part is that you are in total control. You don't have to move everything at once. If you are just testing Xurrent IMR out, you can choose to import only a specific team or a single schedule to see how it works.

TL;DR

Here's quick demo to see how it works:

Here is how to get it done.

1. Connect your PagerDuty account

First you need to give Xurrent IMR permission to read your current setup. You do this by creating a simple key in PagerDuty.

• Go to your PagerDuty Dashboard>Integrations>API Access Key and generate a Read-Only API Key.
• Paste that key into the migration box in Xurrent IMR.
• Click Start Migration.

2. Start the migration in Xurrent IMR

1. Log in to your Xurrent IMR account.
2. Go to Profile → Account → Account Migration.
3. Paste the Read-Only API key from PagerDuty.
4. Click Start Migration.

3. Select your users

• Select the users you want to migrate.
• Click Continue.

‍

4. Select teams to migrate

• Choose the teams you want to migrate.
• Click Continue.

‍

5. Import your schedules

You likely spent a lot of time building your on-call rotations. You can bring those over exactly as they are. Whether you have complex rotations or simple daily shifts, just select the ones you want to keep.

• Choose your schedules.
• Click Continue.

‍

6. Move your escalation policies

Finally, select your escalation policies. These link your users and schedules together so alerts go to the right people.

• Select the policies you want to migrate.

‍

7: Select services to migrate

• Select the services you want to migrate.
• Click Continue.

8. Review the logs

Once you start the process, you will get a Migration ID. When the migration finishes, you will see a detailed log of everything that was moved.

This log is really helpful if you run into any issues. You can simply download these logs and send them to our support team. We can look at exactly what happened and help you fix anything that didn't go as planned.
