Alert grouping helps your team reduce alert noise by collecting related alerts before deciding whether to create an incident.

Think of an alert group as a short waiting room. When the first matching alert arrives, Vibranium opens a grouping window for that team. Matching alerts that arrive before the window ends join the same group. When the window closes, Vibranium evaluates the group once and can automatically create one incident from the grouped alerts.

Use alert grouping when one issue commonly creates several similar alerts, such as repeated alerts for the same service, environment, severity, or provider metadata.

Before You Start

• The alerts must be assigned to a team.
• You need permission to edit the team’s settings.
• Decide which alert properties best identify related alerts for that team.

Configure Alert Grouping For A Team

1. Open the team settings page for the team that should group related alerts.
2. Find the alert grouping settings.
3. Choose one or more grouping properties.
4. Set the grouping window in minutes.
5. Save the settings.

After you save, the configuration applies to new alert groups. Existing alerts and existing groups are not recalculated.

Choosing Grouping Properties

Grouping properties define which alerts belong together. New alerts are grouped when they belong to the same team and their selected property values match.

Supported properties are:

• title
• description
