When your systems howl, you hear it first.
Detect outages, reach the right person, coordinate the response, and keep customers informed — from one connected workflow.
One workflow from detection to a clear customer update.
HowlOps connects monitoring, alerting, incident response, and status communication. Use the parts you need; the data stays linked throughout.
Monitoring
Check HTTP/S, ping, TCP, and DNS targets, plus scheduled jobs through heartbeats. Add regions and response validation when you need them.
Alerting & on-call
Route by source, tag, or severity. Page a channel, person, schedule, or team through ordered escalation steps.
Incident response
Acknowledge alerts, promote what matters to an incident, coordinate on a timeline, and draft a postmortem from recorded evidence.
Status communication
Publish live component health, maintenance, incident updates, and public postmortems from the same operational data.
See what happens after a signal arrives.
Choose a source. The first checks change, but routing, paging, response, and recovery stay connected.
Signal
A probe reports that the configured target failed.
Confirm
Retries, thresholds, and optional regional rules confirm the condition before opening an alert.
Route
Routing rules select a policy; without one, enabled channels receive the alert.
Reach
The policy pages its current target and continues only while the alert is unacknowledged.
Respond
Acknowledge, coordinate, and publish updates. Recovery resolves the alert and sends the all-clear.
Respond where you already work.
Choose a surface to see the real incident actions available there. The interface changes; ownership, escalation, timeline, and resolution stay connected.
See the incident
Open the incident to see its source, severity, routing result, failure evidence, and live timeline.

Acknowledge to stop escalation, then assign or change the commander and resolver without losing context.
