Incident List

Flashduty On-call provides two entry points to view the incident list. One is within a channel, the other is under the Incident Management menu. The difference is that under Incident Management, you can see incidents from multiple channels, even all incidents across the entire account.
Incident List Interface
#FeatureDescription
1AssigneeDefaults to incidents Assigned to Me, can switch to view all incidents in the account
2My ChannelsDefaults to all channels, can switch to view incidents in My Channels
3Processing ProgressFilter incidents by progress, defaults to All
4Time FilterSupports relative time and custom range filtering
5SearchSupports searching by incident ID; if assignee is set to “Assigned to Me”, also supports fuzzy matching on “Incident Title”
6More FiltersSupports rich dimension filtering including severity, labels, or custom fields
7View SettingsSupports rich rendering options including custom display attributes and even aggregate views
8PaginationPagination and items per page adjustment
For query performance, the query time range is limited based on your subscription tier:
  • Free: up to 30 days
  • Standard: up to 180 days
  • Professional: up to 366 days
To query older data, adjust the start and end times, or use the Incident Query API.
To improve performance, when search conditions match more than 1000 incidents, the system only displays 1000+, not the exact number. Therefore, you can only view 1000 incidents through pagination. To see more, please adjust your search time range or use the Incident Query API to get all data.

Using Aggregate View

Aggregate view provides a different perspective for viewing incidents, where you can define different aggregation dimensions. The essence of aggregation dimensions is real-time Group By, such as viewing grouped by severity.
Aggregate View
To improve performance, in aggregate view, the system matches at most 100 records for aggregation. Therefore, the list you see may not contain all matching data. If this concerns you, please switch to list view.

Using More Filters

Flashduty On-call provides filtering capabilities across various dimensions with ample flexibility. Typical scenarios include:
  • Search for incidents triggered by the “Host Down” alert policy based on check label
  • Search for incidents marked as “false positive” based on the false alarm field
Flexibility often means lower performance, and Flashduty On-call is no exception, despite our many performance optimizations. We always recommend narrowing your query time range and using conditions like Assigned to Me and Processing Progress to reduce query scope.

Custom Rendering

Click the Settings button in the upper right corner of the incident list to customize display content and interaction behavior:
OptionDescription
Display TypeChoose List or Aggregate view mode
Detail DisplayChoose Page mode (navigate to a new page) or Side Panel mode (view details in the right panel)
Auto RefreshSet list auto-refresh interval, or disable auto-refresh
Display AttributesToggle visibility of basic attribute columns such as duration, responders, channel
Custom FieldsSelect platform-defined custom fields as additional display columns; if incident doesn’t have this field, displays ”-“
Incident LabelsSelect or type label keys as additional display columns; if incident doesn’t have this label, displays ”-“

Incident Details

Incident details is the main entry point for investigating incidents, displaying all available information. Especially on the incident overview page, Flashduty On-call centrally displays the information you need most.
Incident Details Interface
#AreaDescription
1Key InformationIncident title, severity, processing progress, ID number
2Action AreaVarious high-frequency action buttons; more actions include custom actions and low-frequency buttons; War Room creation requires enabling War Room in IM integration. The snooze button supports customizable duration presets — you can access settings from the snooze dropdown to configure 3 preset durations (in hours or minutes), defaulting to 2 hours, 4 hours, and 12 hours
3DetailsIncident description, label info, and AI Summary (see below for details); labels support drag-to-sort and JSON view display
4Associated AlertsAll grouped alerts associated with the incident, supports filtering by progress and view switching
5Comprehensive InfoShows incident attributes, processing status, images, and responder info
6Custom FieldsCustom field configuration area
You can switch tabs above to view more detailed Associated Alerts, Timeline, Change History, and Post-Mortem. For incidents with existing resolution records, the system still displays the Resolution tab.

Post-Mortem

The incident details page has a built-in post-mortem editor, allowing you to complete the entire post-mortem workflow without leaving the page. The action area includes a shortcut button that navigates directly to the Post-Mortem tab. In the Post-Mortem tab, you can perform the following actions:
ActionDescription
CreateClick the create button to start writing a post-mortem report
AI GenerateUse AI to auto-generate initial post-mortem content, which you can then refine
Edit TitleModify the post-mortem report title to accurately reflect the incident
Edit ContentWrite and modify post-mortem content using the rich text editor
PublishPublish the post-mortem report to make it visible to the team
Re-editPublished post-mortem reports can be re-opened for editing
DeleteRemove post-mortem reports that are no longer needed
Export MarkdownExport the post-mortem report as Markdown for sharing or archiving on other platforms
See Post-Mortem for details.

Change History

The Change History tab shows change events correlated with the current incident in time, helping you quickly determine whether the root cause is related to a recent deployment or configuration change. The change event list displays the following information:
ColumnDescription
StatusCurrent status of the change event, including Planned, Ready, Processing, Canceled, Done
Change KeyUnique identifier of the change event
TitleBrief description of the change event
DescriptionDetailed information about the change event
Start TimeWhen the change event started
End TimeWhen the change event ended
DurationHow long the change event lasted; in-progress events update in real time
LinkExternal link to the change event’s original source
You can adjust the query scope through the filter at the top, including time range and change source. Expand any row to view a timeline visualization of that change event, allowing comparison with the incident trigger time.

AI Summary

The incident details page supports one-click AI summary generation to help you quickly understand the full picture of an incident. Click the AI Summary button in the details area, and the system will automatically generate a structured summary based on the incident’s associated alerts (up to 20), including:
  • Summary: A one-sentence description of what happened
  • Impacts: Key affected resources such as services, systems, environments, and instances
  • Actions: Immediately actionable investigation and remediation steps (up to 3)
You can choose from different AI models (default is DeepSeek V3; DeepSeek R1 is also available for deep thinking and reasoning capabilities) and regenerate as needed. The generated summary supports real-time streaming output and can be saved as the incident description.
AI Summary is only available for incidents automatically triggered by alerts. Manually created incidents do not support this feature.

Images

When alerts associated with the incident include image information reported via API, the incident details right panel displays an Images section. You can click image thumbnails to preview them, and hover to view the Alt description and source links.

Linked External Tickets

If you have configured ticket integrations such as Jira, ServiceNow, or ServiceDesk Plus, the comprehensive info area in the incident details right panel displays linked external ticket information. You can click directly to navigate to the corresponding external ticket system and view details.

FAQ

This error often appears on incident/alert list queries, analytics dashboards, etc. It’s mainly because the system matched too much data and the query timed out.In this case, please narrow your query scope, such as time range, or use more precise query conditions. If issues persist, please contact us.
