Measuring Incident Cost

Measuring Incident Cost

๐Ÿค‘ Measuring Incident Cost

We are introducing the ability to quantify incident cost. Our customers are looking for a way at quick glance see the estimated and aggregate cost of incidents.

Although there are numerous variables that contribute to this calculation, we are starting with estimated revenue loss.

This will look at your average cost per minute multiplied by duration of the incident.

  • Enabled optionally in Organization Settings where you can configure variables
  • Displayed in both Metrics tab and on each individual incident in Rootly.com
  • Calculation can be based on time to mitigation and/or resolution
  • Shows aggregate view (e.g. average cost per month) and per incident basis
  • Export metrics out via CSV, JSON, API, or contact support@rootly.io for custom export builds
  • Coming soon - time tracking and developer productivity costs, stay tuned!
