What are Incidents?

An incident is created when a monitor detects downtime or issues. Incidents track the start time, duration, and resolution of outages.

Incident Lifecycle

1. Opened: Monitor detects an issue (DOWN status or error)
2. Alerts Sent: Notifications sent to configured channels
3. Closed: Monitor returns to UP status
4. Recovery Notification: Alert sent confirming recovery

Viewing Incidents

Access your incident history from:

• Dashboard sidebar (recent incidents)
• Incidents page (full history)
• Individual monitor pages (monitor-specific incidents)
