Incidents#

Incidents represent periods where a monitor is unhealthy.

Lifecycle#

Down Transition#

When monitor status changes to down:

• consecutive_failures increments
• an active incident is created if none exists
• subscribers and alert channels are notified

Still Down#

If checks keep failing while already down:

• the active incident remains open
• no new incident is created
• no duplicate down alert is sent by default flow

Recovery Transition#

When status changes back to up:

• active incident is marked resolved
• consecutive_failures resets to 0
• recovery notifications can be sent

Incident Cause#

Cause is derived from latest check details, for example:

• network/timeout/SSL errors
• assertion failures
• HTTP 4xx/5xx outcomes
