SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Incident response workflow that correlates incidents with deployments, assesses blast radius, and generates postmortems using Harness MCP.

Core Features & Use Cases

Correlate deployment events with incidents to identify root cause.
Assess blast radius by mapping affected services, upstream callers, and downstream dependencies.
Generate structured postmortems with timelines, root cause analysis, impact assessment, and action items.

Quick Start

Investigate an incident by correlating recent deployments, assessing blast radius, and generating a postmortem document.

FAQPage Schema

How do I correlate incidents with recent deployments to find root cause?▼

Incident response correlation maps deployment events against incidents to identify root cause. It fetches deployment statuses and timelines via Harness MCP, linking the specific deployment that triggered the failure across affected services and environments.

What is the best way to assess blast radius for a service incident?▼

Blast radius assessment maps affected services, upstream callers, and downstream dependencies during an incident. By correlating deployment data with incident timelines, it identifies the full scope of impact across your environments and services.

Can I generate a structured postmortem automatically after an incident?▼

Yes, structured postmortems are generated automatically after an incident. The output includes constructed timelines, root cause analysis, impact assessment, and actionable post-incident action items based on the correlated deployment and incident data.

Does incident response work across multiple services and environments?▼

Incident response investigation applies across services and environments. It leverages Harness MCP to fetch deployment timelines and statuses, enabling cross-service correlation and blast radius assessment regardless of your deployment topology.

How do I build an incident timeline using deployment data?▼

Incident timeline construction leverages Harness MCP to fetch deployment events, statuses, and chronological data. It provides structured guidance to assemble these deployment events into an accurate incident timeline for root cause analysis.
