Incidents ​

Track and manage incidents in your system.

What is an Incident? ​

An incident is any event that disrupts normal service operation. In Uptinio, incidents can be triggered by:

  • Monitors: When a monitored endpoint fails health checks
  • Servers: When server metrics exceed thresholds or the server becomes unreachable

Types of Incidents ​

Monitor Incidents ​

  • HTTP/HTTPS Failures: When a website or API endpoint is unreachable or returns error responses
  • SSL Certificate Issues: When SSL certificates are invalid or about to expire
  • Domain Expiry: When monitored domains are approaching expiration dates
  • Keyword Monitoring: When expected content is missing from responses
  • TCP Port Issues: When monitored ports become unreachable
  • Ping Failures: When basic connectivity checks fail

Server Incidents ​

  • Server Downtime: When the server becomes unreachable or stops sending metrics
  • Resource Thresholds:
    • CPU usage exceeds configured threshold
    • Memory (RAM) usage exceeds configured threshold
    • Disk space usage exceeds configured threshold
    • Network traffic (in/out) exceeds configured thresholds

Managing Incidents ​

Incident Lifecycle ​

  1. Detection: System automatically detects issues based on configured thresholds
  2. Creation: Incident is created with initial status and details
  3. Notification: Configured integrations are notified (email, Slack, webhooks)
  4. Investigation: Team investigates and updates incident status
  5. Resolution: Issue is resolved and incident is marked as resolved
  6. Post-mortem: Review incident details to identify areas for improvement and prevent similar issues in the future

Incident Statuses ​

  • Ongoing: Active incident being investigated
  • Resolved: Issue has been fixed

Best Practices ​

  • Configure appropriate alert thresholds to prevent alert fatigue
  • Set up multiple notification channels for critical incidents
  • Document incident response procedures
  • Review incident patterns to identify recurring issues
