Alert Triage

The Alert Triage feature provides you with a guided approach to quickly analyze and resolve an incident. Triggered by an alert you get from Anodot, the Triage screen enables you to understand what happened, where it happened, and why it happened. Based on that, the Alert Triage feature also provides access to actions you defined on the alert, such as opening a Grafana dashboard, opening a Jira ticket, etc. 

Current Limitations

  • Currently Triage only works on Anomaly alerts and not on No Data / Static alerts. This is a limitation which will be addressed in future releases.
  • The Triage feature is not enabled in all accounts. If you would like to enable it in your account, contact support@anodot.com or your dedicated Customer Success Manager. 

To access the Triage feature

  1. Accessing Triage can be done either directly from the Alert trigger (via email, Slack, etc.) or it can be initiated from the Alert Console.
  2. In the Alert Console, hover over the relevant alert, and click the More Info icon.
  3. In the displayed popup menu, select Triage.
