Incident Lifecycle

Incidents track the full lifecycle of an outage or degradation — from detection to resolution. They can be created automatically from monitor failures or manually by any team member.

Every incident moves through a defined set of statuses:

StatusMeaning
DraftIncident created but not yet declared. Allows teams to assess before notifying stakeholders.
InvestigatingTeam is actively looking into the issue. Escalation timers begin if an escalation policy is attached.
IdentifiedRoot cause found. Responders are working on a fix.
MonitoringFix deployed. Team is watching to confirm stability before closing.
ResolvedIncident closed. Duration is calculated automatically from declared_at to resolved_at.

Each incident carries linked monitors, severity, tags, and a timeline of updates. Status page subscribers are notified automatically when an incident is published.
