Incident investigation

A current investigation brief and coordinated response

Build an evidence-backed incident timeline and keep response owners aligned as the situation changes.

One agent can handle multiple related workflows. Responsibilities and permitted actions are agreed before implementation.

Overview

Connect alerts, deployments, tickets, runbooks, and operator actions into a live investigation record. The agent separates observations from hypotheses and routes the next approved diagnostic action.

A deployment correlation is visible; production rollback remains with the service owner.

What it can handle

  • Reconstruct the timeline

    Sequence alerts, changes, tickets, deployments, and human actions with timestamps.

  • Frame grounded hypotheses

    Keep observed facts distinct from possible causes and missing evidence.

  • Coordinate response

    Route decisions, owners, and status updates without taking production authority.

How it works

The path from request to result adapts to the available information, approved actions, and decisions that need review.

Step 1: Confirm the incident

Validate impact, severity, owners, and the active response policy.

Step 2: Assemble the timeline

Connect telemetry, changes, tickets, and operator actions.

Step 3: Frame hypotheses

Show evidence, possible causes, and the next approved diagnostics.

Step 4: Coordinate response

Route tasks, decisions, and updates to the accountable owners.

Step 5: Preserve the record

Return evidence, actions, current state, and follow-up work.
