Incident Alerting
Incident alerting is the process of automatically notifying relevant teams or individuals about critical issues or disruptions in systems, applications, or infrastructure. It ensures that incidents, such as system outages, performance degradation, or security breaches, are promptly identified and communicated to the right stakeholders for immediate action. Alerts are typically generated by monitoring tools that track system health, performance metrics, and logs. These alerts are configured based on predefined thresholds or anomaly detection and can be delivered through various channels, such as emails, SMS, mobile apps, or integrated incident management platforms. Effective incident alerting minimizes downtime, reduces the impact on users, and supports rapid resolution by providing clear, actionable information to the response team.
