PagerDuty incident history, next to the change that triggered it.
PagerDuty records every incident — opened, escalated, resolved — but in its own console, away from the deploy or flag change behind it. CoNote will put each incident on one shared timeline, beside the change from the same minute.

Finding your history
Your PagerDuty incident history: today, and once CoNote is live
The manual way · inside PagerDuty
Where to find it today
It’s all there — in the incident console:
- 1
Open PagerDuty
Go to the Incidents view for the service you’re investigating — incidents are organised by service and escalation policy.
- 2
Find the incident
Filter by service, status, and date to find the incident, with when it triggered, who was paged, and when it resolved.
- 3
Open its timeline
Each incident has a detailed log — notifications, acknowledgements, escalations, and notes — for that one incident.
- 4
Read the resolution and postmortem
If you run postmortems, the cause lives there — but it’s written after the fact, separate from the deploy log.
- 5
Cross-reference the deploy by hand
To tie an incident to a deploy or flag change, you switch to those tools and line the timestamps up yourself.
The CoNote way · coming soon
Where you’ll find it once it’s live
Connect PagerDuty once. After that it’ll be seconds:
- 1
Open your CoNote timeline
Every incident will be waiting — no console access, readable by anyone.
- 2
Jump to the minute it triggered
Scan the moment the incident opened; it’ll be stamped right there.
- 3
See the cause beside it
The incident will sit next to that day’s deploy, flag change, or config edit — the trigger is one line away.
Sound familiar?
PagerDuty tells you it broke — not why.

The page is in one tool, the cause in another.
It answers “what incidents fired, and who responded?” — never the question you actually have at 2 a.m.: “what did we change right before this triggered?”
- Incidents live in PagerDuty, deploys and flags live elsewhere
- Per service — no single view across everything that moved
- Postmortems rebuild the timeline by hand, every time
- Recurring incidents never line up against a common change
Once PagerDuty is connected, the incident will already be on the timeline — “Incident resolved: checkout API down” at 14:06 — right under the 14:02 deploy, so the cause is one line away.
How it works
Connect once. Then it’ll log itself.
- 01
Add a PagerDuty webhook
Point a PagerDuty webhook (or extension) at CoNote — no agent, no code, no engineering sprint.
- 02
Every incident logs itself
From then on, each incident triggered, escalated, and resolved lands on the timeline with a readable title — “Incident resolved: checkout API down” — as it happens.
- 03
Read it in context
The incident sits beside that day’s deploys, flag changes, and config edits — so the trigger is one line away, not one console away.
What lands on your timeline
- Incidents triggered, escalated, and resolved
- How long each lasted and whether it escalated
- The minute it happened, beside the change that caused it
In your week
What teams will use it for.
The 2 a.m. “what changed?”
An incident fires. The deploy at 14:02 sits one line above it — so the on-call engineer sees the likely cause without opening a second tool.
Postmortems that write themselves
The incident, the deploy, the flag flip, and the fix all sit in order on one page — no rebuilding the timeline from three consoles.
Spot the recurring trigger
Three incidents this month line up next to the same kind of change — a pattern you can finally see on one timeline.
Tell the business an incident happened
No PagerDuty access needed. The incident reads in plain language on the same timeline as everything else.

The incident in context.
An incident on its own is a page at 2 a.m. One line under the deploy from four minutes earlier, it’s a diagnosis.

Questions
PagerDuty incident tracking, answered.
Open the Incidents view and filter by service, status, and date — each incident shows when it triggered, who was paged, escalations, and when it resolved, with a detailed timeline on the incident itself.
Not yet — it’s coming soon. You can start your CoNote logbook now and connect the tools that are already live; we’ll switch PagerDuty on automatically the day it ships.
Only once, briefly. Connecting PagerDuty will be pointing a webhook at CoNote — no agent and no code.
No — it logs incidents, not individual alerts or notifications, so the timeline reads as a record of what actually broke, not every ping.
Incidents triggered, escalated, and resolved, as plain-language entries — for example “Incident resolved: checkout API down — 12 min” — with the minute they happened.
PagerDuty’s incidents live in its console, per service, away from the deploys and flag changes that cause them. CoNote will put incidents on a shared timeline right beside that day’s deploys, flags, and config edits.
Only your team. Every entry is scoped to your team, and connecting PagerDuty won’t expose your account to anyone outside it.
