Incidents
The Incidents page allows you to configure monitoring rules that notify you when something is wrong with the systems you manage. When a configured condition is triggered, the system will automatically send email notifications to the selected recipients.
Overview Incidents
The Incidents overview displays all configured incident surveillance rules.
For each incident configuration you can:
- View the name of the configuration
