Incidents

Every time a rule reaches FIRING, Hexcovery records an incident. The Alert History page (under Alerts) is the log of those incidents — both currently active ones and everything that has fired and resolved in the past.

Alert History

Alert History lists incidents as rows: which rule fired, when, and how it ended. Each row is clickable and opens that incident's own page.

The incident page

The per-incident page reconstructs what was happening when the rule fired, in one place:

  • Metric chart — the rule's query plotted across the incident window, so you can see exactly how the value moved into and out of the firing condition.
  • Annotations — any event markers that overlap the incident are drawn on the chart. This is where a deploy or release lines up against the moment things went wrong, making "this broke right after that change" obvious at a glance.
  • AI summary — a written summary of what the data was doing during the incident, so you can grasp the shape of the event without reading the chart line by line.

Together these turn a notification into context: not just "CPU was high", but when it started, when it cleared, and what changed around it.

  • Annotations — the deploy and release markers that show up on incident charts.
  • Alert rules — tune the rule so the next incident fires at the right time.
  • Notification channels — where the firing and resolved notifications were sent.
