Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common questions teams ask us
How does Spectra create incidents?
When a monitor's failure is confirmed from multiple regions, Spectra automatically opens an incident with a timeline, notifies the right people, and starts tracking downtime.
Can I acknowledge and assign incidents?
Yes. Acknowledging pauses further escalation; you can assign an owner and post updates as you investigate and resolve.
What is a post-incident review?
A short postmortem attached to the incident — what happened, the impact, root cause, and follow-up actions — so the team learns and prevents repeats.
Do incidents feed my status page?
Yes. Incident status updates can publish to your public status page and notify subscribers automatically.
