Alert Triage

The Alerts board at Alerts is the shift's working list. By default it shows unresolved alerts sorted by severity, and clicking a row expands the alert's device, history, subscriber impact and notes in place.

Working the board

  • Acknowledge marks an alert as being worked: it stops paging the on-call chain but stays open until resolved, and the board records who claimed it.
  • Snooze silences an alert for a window you pick, for a flapping interface you cannot fix this shift. The alert returns when the window ends if the condition still holds.
  • Resolve closes the alert and stops every pending delivery; most checks also auto-resolve on the next successful probe.
  • Select rows with the checkboxes and the bulk bar offers acknowledge and resolve for the whole selection, the fast path for a storm of related alerts; snooze stays per alert on the row's own menu.

Reading the board

  • The filter pills split the list by state: Unresolved, Critical, All, Snoozed, Resolved and Suppressed, each with its live count.
  • Sort controls order the list by Severity, Age or Impact (subscribers affected); the Site picker narrows the board to one site.
  • The search box matches device name, IP address, site or alert message.
  • A suppressed alert fired inside a maintenance window and needs no action.
