Triage and declare an incident
Run this when an alert fires in PagerDuty or a human reports a potential incident. Assess severity, recommend whether to declare, and open the incident channel if warranted.
- Pull the PagerDuty incident record: service name, alert body, firing time, and which monitor triggered.
- Open Datadog and find the monitors and dashboards associated with the service.
- Map what you see against the team's severity tiers.
