Resolving incidents

An alert incident can be changed to any of the following states:

  • Open - when there are violations in an incident
  • Acknowledge - when the user intends to investigate the violations
  • Close - when the user believes that the violations are resolved and the alert incident is no longer useful
  • Reopen - when the user feels that the incident is still problematic

The incident state can be changed individually by selecting the respective option in the context menu (or) be changed in bulk by selecting the required incidents and choosing the respective option from the Actions dropdown.

Once all the resources in a Business Application have transitioned from an error to a healthy state, previous alert incidents concerning the old violations should be addressed. Manually resolving incidents one at a time is a time-consuming process, but one that you can automate.

By enabling the Auto resolve incidents checkbox in the monitoring configuration at a Business Application monitoring level (or) in a profile mapped to a Business Application, all the previous incidents will be automatically resolved when all the resources in the respective Business Application turn healthy.

An up alert is generated simultaneously to all configured channels and email addresses in the next monitoring cycle, indicating that the business application contains healthy resources.

The image given below is a sample Up alert received in Turbo360 mail:

As for the escalation policy, the up alert will be generated up to the rule level at which the violation alert is escalated.

Up alerts are generated only when the Business Application has previously generated at least one violation alert.

Tracking user actions

By choosing the view user actions option from the context menu of an incident, it is possible to track the user actions for an alert incident. The details includes the user's email id, the time the action was taken, and the change in incident state.
