Storms collapse
A hundred repeats of the same page fold into one.
-
Duplicates recognised
A re-fire lands on the issue it belongs to instead of opening a new one, even when your provider re-groups it.
-
Judged on the data
The agent pulls the real query behind your monitor and the metric around the firing, and compares it with normal.
-
Incident or noise
Noise gets filed. Incidents get investigated on their own, and when your provider recovers, the issue closes too.
Works with the monitoring you have. Point your existing alerts at Polylane.
An alert can also kick off any automation you've built, so the page that used to wake you runs the runbook instead.
