Declare an Incident
with Datadog
Works with AI assistants
Create an incident, update it, then add a todo entry.
- Declare a new incident with a title and a flag indicating whether customers are impacted.
- Update the incident with a customer impact summary and a severity field selection now that more detail is known.
- Add a follow-up todo to the incident so responders have a tracked next action on the timeline.
What you'll need to have ready
- title: The title summarizing what happened in the incident.
- customerImpacted: Whether the incident caused customer impact.
- customerImpactScope: A summary of the impact customers experienced.
- severity: The severity selection for the incident (e.g. SEV-2).
- todoContent: The content of the follow-up todo to add to the incident.
