Resolution

On SolarWinds Alert Configuration:

1. You simply create a "Send a GET or POST request...." as a trigger condition for any of your alerts, and copy the url into the url field using HTTP Post, and then the rest of the text into the body. 
2. The only thing you should have to change is the SERVICE KEY, and you get the service key from your PagerDuty site. 
3. We had to remove any blank lines when copying and pasting the code and also, of course, leave out the _comment line(common sense, I know, but when it's the end of a business day, that goes out the window).
