How incident management works

From first alert to resolved incident

StatusPage.me gives you a simple workflow to capture, update and close incidents while keeping customers and teammates aligned.

Step 1
Create or auto-create an incident

Open a new incident manually or let monitors auto-create one when checks start failing. Choose affected components and the right impact level.

Step 2
Post timeline updates

Share what you know as you investigate: acknowledgements, identified root causes and mitigation steps, all added to a clear incident timeline.

Step 3
Resolve & follow up

Mark the incident as resolved, notify subscribers automatically, and keep a permanent record you can reference in reports and postmortems.

Incident management works hand-in-hand with uptime monitors and status pages, so you never have to copy updates between tools.

Common questions about incidents and maintenance

A quick overview of how incidents, maintenance windows and notifications work in StatusPage.me.

Yes. You can configure monitors to auto-create incidents when uptime checks fail. This keeps your status page accurate even if nobody is at the keyboard the moment something goes wrong.

Incidents are unplanned disruptions, while maintenance windows are planned work with a known start and end time. Both appear on your status page, but maintenance can be announced in advance to reduce surprise.

StatusPage.me can notify subscribers via email and send updates to Discord, Slack, Telegram and custom webhooks. You can choose which channels to enable per project.

You control which incident state changes send notifications. For example, you can notify on creation, major updates and resolution while keeping minor internal notes out of subscriber inboxes.

Yes. Once an incident is resolved, you can attach a postmortem with a structured root-cause analysis. Postmortems are kept in your incident history for future reference and are visible to your team only — not published on the public status page. If you want a reusable process, the University incident management hub covers severity design, update cadence, templates, and postmortem workflows.

Yes. Incidents support assignable task checklists so different team members can own specific steps during the response. All activity is timestamped in the incident timeline, giving the whole team a shared view of what’s happening and what’s been done.
