Incidents & alerts

The incidents view gathers active CloudWatch alarms and Prometheus alert rules from every connected data source into one screen, so you can see what is firing right now without hopping between consoles.

All incidents

The default view combines both kinds of signal. The cards along the top summarise the overall picture, showing how many are active versus healthy, the total count, and how many data sources are reporting. Switch between Active and All to focus on what is firing or to review everything.

The combined incidents view with summary cards and a table of firing Prometheus alert rules.
  1. 1 Switch between All Incidents, CloudWatch Alarms, and Prometheus Rules.
  2. 2 The summary cards show the state breakdown at a glance.
  3. 3 Filter by Active or All, and search by name, source, or reason.

CloudWatch alarms

The CloudWatch tab lists alarms from every connected AWS account. Each row shows the alarm state, the metric and condition behind it, and why it is in that state. Filter by account to narrow a noisy estate, or search to jump straight to a known alarm.

The CloudWatch alarms table with state, metric, condition, and reason columns.
  1. 1 The state breakdown across in alarm, insufficient data, and OK.
  2. 2 Toggle All to include alarms that are currently healthy, not just those firing.

Prometheus alert rules

The Prometheus tab lists alert rules and their current state, which is either firing, pending, or inactive. Each row carries the rule’s severity, its group, the expression behind it, and a count of how many alerts are active for that rule.

The Prometheus alert rules table showing firing rules with severity, group, and query.
  1. 1 The state breakdown across firing, pending, and inactive.
  2. 2 Filter to Active to see only what needs attention.
Note. Sciple reads alarms and alert rules from your connected systems and shows their live state rather than replacing where they are defined. Create and edit them in CloudWatch or your Prometheus configuration as usual, and they appear here automatically. To connect those systems, see Connecting data sources.
