Investigate incidents
During an incident, you can add notes, dashboard panels, and queries to the incident timeline so responders share the same context.
Investigate from an incident
Use the incident timeline to collect what you learn as you work:
- Add notes, queries, and dashboard panels so other responders can follow your investigation.
- Attach links and images that point to runbooks, dashboards, or related alerts.
For steps, refer to Use the incident timeline.
You can also send incident or alert group events to Grafana Assistant with an outgoing webhook. For details, refer to Outgoing webhooks and Grafana Assistant investigations.
