Introduce additional tag types for incidents
Proposal
In #336026 (closed), we're allowing users to define incident start/end times.
Let's build on this by allowing people to define additional timestamp types (bold items identified as most important, should we need to break this into multiple iterations):
-
when the impact was detected (either by system or human)
impact detected
- when the Incident Response process was engaged/started
response initiated
-
when the problem impact was stabilized/mitigated
impact mitigated
- when root cause identified
cause identified
Design
Add additional event types into the pre-existing event type dropdown. As with start/end time, when an event type has been selected, the comment field pre-populates with the selected tag name, and that text is editable. The saved tag displays as a badge on the timeline view. Here's how that looks, in practice:
Dropdown with additional options | Default text supplied in the comment field | Default text is editable | Tag displays as a badge on the timeline view |
---|---|---|---|
Note - in #336026 (closed), the dropdown added is a single select dropdown. Here, we should introduce a multi-select dropdown, as it's possible people will want to add multiple tags to single events.
