Incident Timeline Analyzer

Enter incident event timestamps to compute detection time, time to acknowledge, time to mitigate, and time to full resolution with SRE metric benchmarks.

Incident Timeline Analyzer

The Incident Timeline Analyzer computes MTTD, MTTM, MTTR, and time-to-root-cause from incident event timestamps with SRE benchmark comparisons.

• Calculate MTTD and MTTM for a post-incident review

• Benchmark incident response metrics against DORA and SRE industry targets

• Identify whether detection or response time is the larger MTTR contributor

• Generate incident timeline metrics for a quarterly reliability review

What does this tool tell you?
The Incident Timeline Analyzer computes MTTD, MTTM, MTTR, and time-to-root-cause from incident event timestamps with SRE benchmark comparisons.
What affects the result most?
Detection time: alert_fired - incident_start — how long before anyone knew. TTR (Time to Response): acknowledged - detected — how long to assign and start response. TTMI (Time to Mitigate): mitigation_applied - incident_start — how long to stop user impact.
How should I use the result?
The calculation is deterministic — the same inputs always produce the same output — so the most useful workflow is to vary one input at a time and see which factor moves the result most. That tells you where to focus your attention before committing to a decision.
Every incident has a pattern. Most teams miss it. The DevOps Health Pack scores incident timelines — surfaces repeated response delays, missed escalations, and slow detection.
