Create an Escalation policy <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start receiving alerts, create an escalation policy and select the alerting channel. The easiest option is a <strong>phone call alert<\/strong>. ( Learn more about getting started with a Phone call). &nbsp;Click on &#8220;Continue&#8221; to start receiving alerts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Get quick alerts through your preferred channels, including;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Phone calls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>SMS<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slack<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>MS Teams<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Email<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pushover<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discord<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>WhatsApp<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>and Telegram.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Customize your escalation policy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tailor the escalation policy to suit your requirements. Start by configuring <strong>Phone call<\/strong> alerts for those high-priority critical incidents, and for the less urgent low-severity incidents, go with <strong>Slack or MS Teams<\/strong> alerts (you can find instructions on how to set up Slack &amp; MS Teams if needed).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve got the fundamentals in place, feel free to tweak it further to accommodate additional channels like <strong>WhatsApp<\/strong> and <strong>Telegram.<\/strong> Your escalation policy should match your specific needs and preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Incident Response<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you receive an alert, keep these steps in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>If you have all the incident details, take the initiative to be the first to respond.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If you&#8217;re unsure or lack information, don&#8217;t hesitate to escalate the incident to the next person in line.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Customize the timeout according to your requirements. You have the flexibility to adjust the escalating timeout; the default is 10 minutes, but you can edit it to 5 minutes. This means if a responder doesn&#8217;t react to the initial alert within the set time, it will automatically move on to the next responder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Once you have the incidents at hand, make sure to acknowledge and work on resolving them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/getting-started-on-alerts-with-escalation-policy\/\">Get started with an escalation policy,<\/a> and you can modify it as needed in the future.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-test-your-configuration\">4. Test your configuration<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before launching your incident management process, it is important to test the configuration. Follow the docs and create a simple integration from your monitoring tool. Most of them give you a &#8220;<strong>test alert<\/strong>&#8221; setting after configuration. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alternatively, make a POST request to the webhook url of your integration. <br><a href=\"https:\/\/docs.spike.sh\/integrations-guideline\/create-integration-and-service-on-dashboard#adding-integration\">Learn more on this doc<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All set and tested? <em>Congratulations, now you can get started with receiving alerts!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"remember-incident-management-is-a-team-exercise\">Remember, Incident Management is a Team Exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When an incident occurs, make sure to involve all your team members in the incident response. It&#8217;s crucial for confirming the proper functioning of all systems by involving more members. This is crucial to build a <a href=\"https:\/\/spike.sh\/blog\/building-a-culture-of-incident-response\/\">culture of incident response<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This collaborative approach not only distributes the responsibility but also guarantees that everyone plays an active role in resolving the issue.
