Incidents

When everything's on fire,
this is the fire station.

One thread for the whole incident — timeline, impact, and stakeholder updates. No more “which Slack channel is this in?” at 3am.

Incident command

From page to postmortem

Everything a response team needs, in the order they need it — detection, coordination, communication, and learning.

Opened from Alerting Core

Confirmed alerts can open incidents with context already attached — failing checks, impact, and history.

Roles, not chaos

Clear ownership and updates so responders know who is driving and what customers have been told.

Stakeholder updates

Post once and keep the status page and subscribers aligned with the same story.

A single timeline of truth

Every update in chronological order. “What happened when” is never a scavenger hunt.

History that sticks

Closed incidents stay searchable — timelines and impact for the next review, not a lost thread.

Blameless by default

Focus on systems and safeguards. Learn from incidents instead of fearing the write-up.

Measure what matters

Close the loop
from signal to story.

Incidents sit between Alerting Core and your public status page — so internal response and customer communication stay in sync.

  • Lifecycle from open through resolve
  • Component impact mapping
  • Public updates without copy-paste chaos
