Incident response

Run the incidentwhere the evidence already is.

Alerts, on-call, the timeline and the postmortem sit next to your traces and logs, so nobody spends the incident pasting screenshots into Slack.

From the page to the postmortem.

  • Alerts with evidenceSet thresholds on any signal. The alert arrives with the traces that crossed them.
  • Severity and ownershipSeverity, owner and on-call are set the moment you open the incident.
  • Automatic timelineAlerts, deploys, comments and status changes are added in order as they happen.
  • Telemetry in placeThe traces, logs and metrics you attach stay on the incident for whoever joins late.
  • Postmortem draftsThe timeline turns into a first draft, so you edit instead of starting from nothing.
  • Agent summariesAn AI agent with its own FerrisKey identity can post the first summary.

Spend your next incident on the fix.

Alerts, on-call and postmortems live in the same tool as your traces.
