The pagerduty plugin is not working for me. It cannot resolve the fields, so I cannot make it programmatic and was wondering if anyone can assist me?

```
input {
  http_poller {
    urls => {
       pagerTest => "http://example.com"
    }
    automatic_retries => 0
    # Check the site every 10s
    schedule => { "every" => "10" }
    # Wait no longer than 8 seconds for the request to complete
    request_timeout => 8
    # Store metadata about the request in this field
    metadata_target => http_poller_metadata
    # Tag this request so that we can throttle it in a filter
    #tags => website_healthcheck
    codec => plain
  }
}

filter {
   # The poller doesn't set an '@host' field because it may or may not have meaning
   # In this case we can set it to the 'name' of the host which will be 'localhost'
   # The name is the key used in the poller's 'url' config
   if [http_poller_metadata] {
     mutate {
       rename => { "[http_poller_metadata][request][url]" => "component_url" }
     }
     if [http_poller_metadata][name] == "pagerTest" {
       mutate {
         add_field => {
           "component_name" => "PagerDuty - test"
           "integration_key" => "RANDOMKEY"
           "event_type" => "trigger"
         }
       }
    }
  }
}

output {
      stdout { codec => rubydebug }
      pagerduty {
        service_key => "%{integration_key}"
        incident_key => "logstash/MySQLTimeline/StatusPage"
        description => "Logstash is unable to connect to %{event_type} %{integration_key}"
        details => {
          "timestamp"=>"%{@timestamp}"
           "message"=>"Logstash test"
        }
        event_type => "%{event_type}"
      }
}

```

integration\_key and event\_type print properly in the description field, but it will not resolve the fields like this. The configuration works if I hard code them. integration\_key doesn't actually throw error as it just looks for %{integration\_key} (and doesn't find it), but event\_type fails it is not able to resolve to trigger

This is a long-standing known issue.
