Overview

Incident Management Analytics is a queryable data source for aggregated incident statistics. You can query these analytics in a variety of graph widgets in both Dashboards and Notebooks to analyze the history of your incident response over time. To give you a starting point, Datadog provides an Incident Management Overview Dashboard template and Notebook template that you can clone and customize as necessary.

The following widgets support Incident Management Analytics:

• Timeseries
• Top List
• Query Value

Measures

Datadog provides the following aggregated measures out of the box for forming analytics queries:

1. Count (*)
2. Customer Impact Duration
3. Status Active Duration (amount of time the incident was in Active status)
4. Status Stable Duration (amount of time the incident was in Stable status)
5. Time to Repair (customer impact end timestamp - incident creation timestamp)
6. Time to Resolve (resolved timestamp - created timestamp)

In addition to these defaults, you can create new measures by adding custom Number property fields in your Incident Settings.
