Incident Management

Kener uses Github to power incident management using labels

Labels

Kener auto creates labels for your monitors using the tag parameter

  • incident: If an issue is marked as incident it will show up in kener home page
  • incident-down: If an issue is marked as incident-down and incident kener would make that monitor down
  • incident-degraded: If an issue is marked as incident-degraded and incident then kener would make the monitor degraded
  • resolved: Use this tag to mark the incident has RESOLVED
  • identified: Use this tag to show that the root cause of the incident has been identified

Creating your first incident

  • Go to your github repo of kener
  • Go to issues
  • Create an issue. Give it a title
  • In the body add [start_datetime:1702651340] and [end_datetime:1702651140] and add some description. Time is UTC
  • Add incident, incident-down and the monitor tag. This will make the monitor down for 4 minutes

If you clone the repo it gives you an issue template to create incidents

Here is a sample incident for your reference.
