Incidents Overview

Incidents bring together higher-order issues across your environment, such as a room outage or a wider environment outage, that may not be obvious from any single alert. The Incidents tab of the Hotlist groups incidents by lifecycle state and surfaces priority and assignment at a glance. Authorised users can create, edit, resolve, and associate alerts with incidents directly from here.

📌 Since
Incident Management is generally available from Innomesh v3.6.1. For tenancies with a ServiceNow integration, incidents synchronise with ServiceNow so both systems stay aligned; see the ServiceNow Incident Management Integration article.

How Incidents Work

An incident groups one or more related alerts into a single trackable issue: for example, several alerts of the same type, or multiple alerts within one room. Incidents are raised in two ways:

  • Automatically, when an Incident Rule you have defined matches the current alert conditions.
  • Manually, using the Create Incident dialog, so your team can surface and track issues that Innomesh has not detected automatically.

Each incident carries a scope of Global, Site, Zone, or Room, which determines the alerts that can be associated with it. Its priority (Critical, High, Moderate, Low, or Planning) is derived from the incident’s Impact and Urgency.

📝 Note
Innomesh incidents follow the ITIL definition: an unplanned interruption to a service, or a reduction in its quality. Innomesh adopts the familiar ITIL mechanics, including a New through Closed lifecycle, priority derived from impact and urgency, assignment, and resolution codes, and extends the concept for AV operations: an incident carries an environment scope, can be raised automatically when alert conditions match an incident rule, groups the alerts that relate to the issue (each alert belongs to at most one incident), and can resolve itself once those alerts clear.

State Sub-tabs

Four sub-tabs group incidents by state. Each label shows how many incidents match.

Table Columns

Active, Resolved, and On Hold share the same layout:

History swaps in Timestamp and Event columns for the audit trail.

Columns can be sorted, filtered, resized, and reordered, and Columns controls which are shown.

📝 Note
When your tenancy is integrated with an external ITSM such as ServiceNow, the ID column links to the matching incident in the external system, opening in a new tab.

Searching and Clearing

Use Search incidents… at the top-right to filter across all text columns. Clear Search appears below the table while a filter is active, and Reset table appears once you have resized columns.
