Operate · Alarms & incidents

An alarm counts against a datacenter only when it belongs there.

Every alarm is scoped: inside the site, on an edge link leaving it, on something it depends on, or downstream. Downstream symptoms never count on their own; they show under the incident that caused them. Each incident arrives with affected services and customers, ranked root-cause hypotheses and actions.

Why teams open Alarms & incidents

Three questions Alarms & incidents answers.

What people ask in the first minutes, and who asks it. Alarms & incidents puts the answer on one screen, for Colocation and NeoCloud operators.

NOC engineer asksIs this our fault or a symptom of someone else's?
Incident manager asksWhat changed before it broke?
On-call lead asksWho is on call, and when is the next customer update due?

Capabilities

What Alarms & incidents does.

Scope model

Site, edge (counted at both ends), dependency and downstream. Edge redundancy is redundant, redundancy-lost or isolated.

Correlation and RCA

Ranked hypotheses with evidence. A completed change cited by the leading hypothesis is marked as having caused an incident.

Impact on every incident

Services, customers, premium customers and money, the same figures you see on the customer and revenue screens.

Severity in words

Critical, High, Medium, Low for incidents; Critical, Major, Minor, Warning for alarms.

On call and communications

Rota per region, the paging chain, the next escalation, and customer notices with their update cadence.

Problems

Incidents grouped by a shared cause, such as one optics lot behind several link failures.
