Incident management

Incident management that takes you from detection to "all clear" — in one place.

Opsentry connects monitoring, incident response, and customer communication: failed checks open incidents, your team posts updates as it works, and your public status page tells customers the truth in real time.

The incident lifecycle, structured.

Automatic detection

Incident rules turn repeated check failures into incidents without a human in the loop — severity and affected service pre-filled, team notified instantly.

Severity & status tracking

Classify incidents as minor, major, or critical, and walk them through investigating, identified, monitoring, and resolved — the vocabulary your customers already understand.

Timestamped updates

Post updates as you learn more. Each one lands on the public timeline, so customers and support staff always see the latest state — no "any update?" pings.

Maintenance windows

Schedule planned work in advance. Announced maintenance renders distinctly from incidents, so planned downtime never reads as a surprise outage.

Team notifications

Email, webhooks, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and Telegram — route incident alerts to wherever your team actually looks.

API-driven workflows

Create, update, and resolve incidents from your own tooling via the HTTP API — wire Opsentry into your deploy pipeline or existing alerting.

Communication is half of incident response.

Most teams handle the technical half of an incident far better than the human half. The fix is structure: acknowledge fast, update on a cadence, say what you know and what you don't. Opsentry bakes that structure in — incidents publish to your status page, subscribers get notified automatically, and the resolved timeline becomes your public post-incident record. For wording and timing, see our incident communication guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can incidents open automatically?
Yes. Per-service incident rules open an incident after a number of consecutive failed checks you choose, with severity set by the rule. Manual incidents are one click for anything monitoring can't see.
Can I keep an incident internal?
Yes — incident visibility is per incident. Run a private investigation and only publish when (or if) it affects customers.
How do customers find out about incidents?
Through your public status page and its subscriber notifications (email or webhook). They hear it from you first, with the current status and your latest update.
Does Opsentry integrate with our chat tools?
Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, and Telegram channels are supported for outbound incident notifications, alongside email and generic webhooks.

Run your next incident like you've done it a hundred times.
