Incidents
An Evaluation opens an Incident when a scheduled window fails and no Incident is already open for the associated Expectation.
An Incident represents an outstanding operational problem that still needs attention.
An Incident remains open until the same window later closes as Late, a subsequent window closes as Success, or you resolve it manually.
Managing Incidents
Incidents can be resolved, acknowledged, or snoozed.
- Resolving an Incident: Closes the incident and stops any further notifications.
- Acknowledging an Incident: Signals to colleagues that someone is actively investigating the problem.
- Snoozing an Incident: Suppresses further notifications in the Web App until a specified time.
Incidents can be viewed and managed from the Expectations detail page in the Web App. Incidents are not generated for manual-triggered windows.
Notifications
Incident notifications, including email and webhook notifications, are planned for a future release.
