Review incidents

Incidents are limit breaches and warnings issued by Atoti Limits. The module evaluates limits either at regular intervals during the day, at the end of each day, or manually as described in Evaluate limits. When the value of a measure exceeds a threshold specified in the limit, a breach occurs. Warnings, if configured, are issued when the value is within a defined percentage.

You can specify the warning and breach values, and set up the polling frequency during limit creation. For details, see Create limits in the UI.

You can investigate exceptions in the Status screen. For an overview, see Status screen.

This video explains how to evaluate and review limits:

Breaches

To review a breach:

  1. Select the breach to review:
  • To review a single breach, click the Process icon in the Actions column of the breach you want to review, then choose the Review action from the drawer.
  • To review multiple breaches at the same time, select the checkbox of the breach you want to review, and click the Review button above the table.

When you review breaches in bulk, all entry fields and audit will be applied to each incident.

note

You can select multiple incidents of the same type, that is, breaches or warnings, but you can’t select a mix of breaches and warnings for bulk review.

View the incident details

To check detailed information on a breach: in a limit’s Actions column, click the History icon to open the History panel. When a breach has not been reviewed yet, the History panel displays entries about when the limit was evaluated, and the result of the evaluation. Once you review the incident, a new entry displays the information provided during the review: the root cause of the breach in Classification, the Resolution indicating the action to be taken, and any comments.
