How do incidents, issues and alerts work together in Instana?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
Issues flag what's wrong, incidents group related issues into one event with a likely cause, and alerts tell the right people to act. You don't pick one; you use them as a pipeline.
Full Explanation
The correct statement is that issues identify individual abnormal conditions, incidents group related issues into a single event with a probable cause, and alerts notify the responders who need to act. These layers separate detection from correlation from notification, so a single failure produces one actionable event rather than unrelated signals. The independent-channel view is wrong because they are stages of one model, not alternatives. The resolved-problems view is wrong because incidents describe active correlated events, not archives. The manual-summary view is wrong because incidents are formed automatically from correlated issues. For the exam, state each role.
