Analyzing incidents

Analyze incidents with AI SRE to understand the root cause and get a summary of what happened.

Analyze an incident

Start an investigation by bringing an incident into the chat in one of three ways in AI SRENew chat:

  • Click on an ongoing incident from the welcome screen.
  • Type @ in the message box to search for and select an incident.
  • Ask AI SRE to find ongoing or past incidents, e.g., "show me incidents from last Tuesday".

Start an investigation directly from an incident

Open an ongoing incident in Uptime and click Investigate with AI SRE in the incident timeline, or Use AI SRE near the top of the page, to launch an investigation of that incident.

Once an incident is in the chat, AI SRE pulls the full record, including:

  • The incident timeline, including status changes, acknowledgements, and resolutions.
  • On‑call users involved.
  • Associated comments and linked Linear issues.

The agent then typically queries related logs and metrics from the time of the incident to identify the likely cause and provide a summary of its findings.

  • "Who is on‑call right now?"
  • "Which schedules does the web team have, and who is on‑call for each?"
