Incidents
All technical issues and outages that occur in WebPixie are centrally managed through the Incidents page.
All errors detected during uptime, SSL, and domain checks are collected in this area and presented to the user through a single panel.
This allows all issues in the system to be:
- tracked from one place
- filtered
- analyzed
- documented by adding notes
Incident Creation
When WebPixie detects a problem during checks, it automatically creates an incident.
Example situations:
- website is inaccessible
- HTTP status code returns an error (e.g., 500)
- SSL certificate is about to expire
- domain expiration is approaching
When a problem occurs, the incident:
👉 starts as Ongoing
When the problem is resolved:
👉 it automatically transitions to Resolved
This process is fully managed by the system and does not require manual intervention.
Incidents Page
The Incidents page is the main screen where all incidents are listed.
From this screen, you can:
- list all incidents

- review their details
- add notes or descriptions
Filtering
The Incidents page offers various filters to make analyzing incidents easier:
- Status filter: All / Resolved / Ongoing
- Category filter: Domain / SSL / Uptime
- Type filter: Status Code, Timeout, SSL Expiration, Request, etc.
