Wait 'x' mins before sending alerts

Wait time (1).png

Head over to your escalation policies and set a Wait time.

This will enable you to wait for 'x' minutes before alerts begin. Wait time is especially catered towards users who see incidents automatically resolving on it's own every often.

Why get an alert if an incident you know will auto-resolve in 5 mins? That's where wait time comes in :)

You maybe noticed we were working on this - https://roadmap.spike.sh/10

Reports v0.1 📉

Reports (1).png

Sparkling new Reports are here.

We built our new reports from the ground up. The new engine is radically optimized empowering you to measure and see if you are doing better over time.

With our new reports, you will be able to answer these types of questions -

  1. Are the number of incidents gradually decreasing?
  2. Are my team-mates getting bothered a lot with alerts?
  3. Who is our most active responder?
  4. How many hours has one person been on-call over the past 2 months?
  5. How many alerts are my team-mates getting?

Our reports are still in beta. We have got the engine running now so feel free to write to [email protected] with requests and feedback.

Introducing favorites for quick access

You know that incident that always keep repeating itself?? This is the one you perhaps hate the most.

In the past, we have had our own incidents that's been bugging us and we remembered them either via their Incident ID such as INC-124 or by the incident title.

To make it easier to access those annoying incidents, we have introduced Favorites. You can hit that ⭐️ star icon on any incident and access it easily from the sidebar. How cool is that?!!

Not just incidents, Favorites are also supported for every integration, service, escalation, alert rules, title remappers, and even outbound webhook for easy access.
