Viewing Incident History

Viewing Incident History

The Incidents page shows a full history of all incidents on your team — open, acknowledged, and resolved. This article explains how to navigate and filter the list.


Opening the Incidents List

In the left sidebar, click Incidents.


Filtering Incidents

By Status

Use the Status filter tabs at the top of the page:

  • All — every incident regardless of status
  • Open — incidents that haven't been acknowledged or resolved
  • Acknowledged — incidents someone is actively working on
  • Resolved — closed incidents

By Severity

Use the Severity filter dropdown to show only incidents of a specific severity level: Critical, High, Medium, or Low.

Combining Filters

Status and severity filters work together. For example, filter by Open status and Critical severity to see only the most urgent active incidents.


What Each Row Shows

Column Description
Severity badge Color-coded severity level (Critical = red, High = orange, Medium = yellow, Low = blue)
Title Auto-generated description of what failed
Monitor The endpoint that triggered the incident
Status Current lifecycle status
Started When the incident was created
Duration Time since the incident started (or total duration if resolved)

Viewing an Incident's Details

Click any row to open the incident detail page. The detail page shows:

  • Full incident information (status, severity, timeline)
  • The affected monitor
  • Check history around the time of the incident
  • Pulse AI analysis (if available)
  • Resolve and acknowledge buttons (if you have permission)

Viewing Incidents for a Specific Monitor

On the monitor detail page, there is a Recent Incidents section that lists only incidents associated with that specific monitor. This is useful for reviewing the incident history of a particular endpoint without filtering the full incidents list.
