Incidents

An incident is an active DOWN event: the task has failed its check and has not yet recovered. This section shows all such events in one place.

How an incident appears

  • The task changes to DOWN status — the incident is created automatically.
  • While the task has not recovered, the incident remains open.
  • As soon as a successful check passes, the incident closes automatically.

Icon in navigation

Next to the "Incidents" menu item, a counter of open incidents is displayed. The icon color shows the status:

Color What it means
Red There are active incidents whose notifications are not muted — they require attention.
Yellow All active incidents are muted — notifications are paused, but incidents remain open.

Muting an incident

If the incident is already known and you are working on fixing it, you can mute it. This stops repeated notifications but does not close the incident — it will close automatically after the task recovers.

The icon next to the "Tasks" item also turns red if there are active unmuted incidents — so you can see the problem from any section.
