Incident Management

Overzicht

Het incident management systeem van PulseGuard helpt u bij het detecteren, onderzoeken en oplossen van problemen met uw digitale infrastructuur. Het systeem combineert automatische detectie met handmatige incident creatie en uitgebreide collaboration tools.

Incident Lifecycle

1. Detectie

2. Classificatie

Incidents worden automatisch geclassificeerd op severity:
  • Critical: Complete service uitval, security breach
  • 🟠 High: Gedeeltelijke uitval, significante impact
  • 🟡 Medium: Gedegradeerde performance, minor issues
  • Low: Cosmetische problemen, informational

3. Escalatie

{
  "escalation_policy": {
    "critical": {
      "immediate_notification": true,
      "escalate_after_minutes": 5,
      "on_call_rotation": true
    },
    "high": {
      "immediate_notification": true,
      "escalate_after_minutes": 15
    },
    "medium": {
      "digest_mode": true,
      "escalate_after_minutes": 60
    }
  }
}

Best Practices

Incident Response

  1. Acknowledge Quickly: Bevestig incident binnen 5 minuten
  2. Assess Impact: Bepaal omvang en ernst snel
  3. Communicate Clearly: Houd stakeholders op de hoogte
  4. Document Everything: Log alle acties en beslissingen

Prevention

  1. Monitor Proactively: Gebruik predictive analytics
  2. Test Regularly: Voer chaos engineering uit
  3. Automate Where Possible: Gebruik Infrastructure as Code
  4. Learn from Incidents: Analyseer en verbeter continu

Team Coordination

  1. Define Roles: Duidelijke verantwoordelijkheden
  2. Establish Communication: Standaard communicatiemethodes
  3. Create Playbooks: Documented response procedures
  4. Train Regularly: Incident response training

Continuous Improvement

  1. Review Incidents: Wekelijkse incident reviews
  2. Update Procedures: Leer van elke incident
  3. Measure Performance: Track verbetering over tijd
  4. Share Knowledge: Documenteer lessons learned
