The entity details page

Each entity has its own page that centralizes data related to the entity, allowing developers to reduce context switching.

While viewing entities in a catalog, or from the Catalogs > All entities page, click an entity name to open that entity's details page.

When you first open an entity, see an overview of relevant information. If there are any active incidents, you will see them at the top of the page, in addition to recent events, on-call, owners, Slack or Microsoft Teams channels, groups, repository, language, and related domains.

During an incident, the entity details page allows you to quickly find the information you need all in one place: the active incident itself, who owns the entity and who is on-call, which Slack channel to communicate in, dependencies that could be affected, and the most recent deploys.

Entity details sidebar

In the left sidebar of an entity, drill further into the entity's recent deploys, events, security vulnerabilities, monitoring metrics, and more, giving you the insight you need to solve an incident quickly and efficiently.

In the sidebar, click into each category for more information:
