Incident severity deprecation

Expander no longer supports the concept of incident severity. We encourage customers to use the incident risk score instead, which is a more precise method of prioritization.

  • Incidents now show risk scores in place of severity.

  • Incident severity widgets are no longer supported.

  • The Security Admin and My Overview dashboards have been retired.

Updated version information for services and incidents

For each service classification on a service, Expander now shows the 10 most recently observed details about that classification, such as observed software versions and device models.

Dynamic incident headlines

Expander updates the incident headline to match the most recent alert that is highest severity and has the status New or In Progress. The headline automatically updates when an alert is resolved or a new alert is created.
