What is an incident?
An event or an occurrence
An unplanned interruption to an IT Service or reduction in the quality of an IT service
Failure of a configuration item that has not yet affected service is also an incident

Which services does this alert effect?
For this alert, any recent changes to the CI?
Which alerts are most critical?
Where do I direct the remediation first?
