February 22-26, 2021

Add Microsoft Teams collaboration channels from the Incident Console

Anyone with access to an incident in xMatters can now add new or existing Microsoft Teams channels from the Incident Console. This is useful for workflows that don't automatically create collaboration channels when initiating incidents — like the default xMatters Incident Management workflow.

You have the option to Create a new channel or Link existing channel in Microsoft Teams:

Also, if you provide a link to an existing Microsoft Teams meeting instead of a channel, it'll be added with a different icon so you can easily distinguish your meetings from your channels:

Support notes (week of February 22-26)

xMatters Internal Reference No.	Summary
COR-35358 (SUP-22813)	All Events report - event details: Fixed an issue where clicking on an event caused a timeout error instead of displaying the event details.
COR-35348 (SUP-22790)	Incident Management - Incidents list: Corrected an issue that prevented users from seeing incidents in the list when the corresponding event are deleted.
COR-35320 (SUP-22886)	Groups - Group export: Modified report settings so the export results display in English if the user's instance language is something other than English or French.
COR-35319 (SUP-22817)	All Events report - exporting files: Fixed an issue where exporting an All Events report filtered by Initiator would generate an empty export file.
COR-35175 (SUP-22766)	Shifts - shift escalations: Corrected an issue where the escalation path was not properly followed when a user selected Escalate as a response option.
COR-35119 (SUP-22801)	Devices - voice devices: Fixed an issue where phone numbers were not displayed properly if the first numbers of the phone number were identical to the numbers of the country code.

February 15-19, 2021

Trigger flows from Google Cloud Monitoring or Microsoft Azure

We've added new app triggers to the Flow Designer palette for Google Cloud Incidents and Microsoft Azure Alerts:

You can use these triggers to initiate flows when xMatters receives signals from Google Cloud Operations Suite or Microsoft Azure webhooks. To get started, drag one of these triggers onto your canvas, copy the URL, and then use it to set up your webhook:

See our online help for more detailed instructions on configuring webhooks for Google Cloud Incidents and Microsoft Azure Alerts.

Support notes (week of February 15-19)

xMatters Internal Reference No.	Summary
COR-34683	xMatters dashboards  - Manage Dashboards (usability fix): Corrected an issue that disabled the Delete Selected and Change Owner buttons when the search field was cleared.

February 8-12, 2021

Map to xMatters priority values

The Map Event Priority step we told you about in the Krull Release Overview is now available. You can use this step to 'map' values in the signal from an external system to xMatters event priority levels. This means you don't need to worry about the parameters in incoming signals matching the values xMatters expects, and you don't have to write your own custom step to match them up.

When you configure this step, you specify which expected incoming values should correspond to each xMatters priority level and use the output of the step to set the priority in a connected step – such as the xMatters Create Event step.

Edit and remove collaboration channels

During an incident, it's vital that teams know exactly where and how to communicate. If you need to update the name, URL, or details of a collaboration channel, or a channel is no longer relevant and can be removed, you can now do this through the Incident Console.

Click the options drop-down menu next to the channel you want to modify and select Edit or Remove:

Support notes (week of February 8-12)

xMatters Internal Reference No.	Summary
COR-34953	Device Management - email domains: Fixed an issue where including extra commas in the Allowed Domains field when editing an email device would remove existing domains and disable saving.
COR-34933	Flow Designer - Merge and Switch steps (usability fix): Updated some styling and appearance aspects of the Merge and Switch steps to improve user experience.
COR-34835 (SUP-22771)	Web login - change password: Fixed an issue where repeatedly forcing a password reset would prevent the user from being able to change their own password.
COR-34140	Message designer - image library: Replacing an image in the message designer's image library with an image URL should now properly replace the existing image.
COR-31720	Add Users - translations: Added some missing French translations to the Add Users dialog box.
COR-33547 (SUP-22636)	All Events report - Notification Statistics: Updated the All Events report to count users who have no notifiable devices (as determined by the device filter settings on the event) as 'Failed', which is consistent with the Recent Events report.
COR-34771	Device Management (usability fix): Updated the help button on the Device Management page to open the correct location in the online documentation.

February 1-5, 2021

Link existing Slack channels from the Incident Console

Ensuring resolvers can easily access collaboration channels is vital for effective incident management. While sometimes you'll want create a new Slack Channel dedicated to an incident, in other cases you might want to link to an existing channel where people are already discussing the issue.

It's now possible to link existing Slack channels to an incident from the Incident Console. When you select to add a Slack collaboration channel, choose Link existing channel and provide the channel's name and URL:

Incident by Severity widget drill-through

The Incidents by Severity widget displays the number and severity of incidents over selected time periods, making it easier to visualize trends and identify potential improvement opportunities:

Now you can easily drill through to the Incidents list to explore a graph's underlying data in more detail. To do this, do one of the the following:

• Click the timeframe summary below the graph's title ('Past 30 days' in the image above) to view the incidents in that timeframe.
• Select an area on the graph and then click View Incidents in the summary pop-up window to view the related incidents for the selected period (alternatively, you can click one of the severity levels to view only the incidents with that severity).

Incident Management: Resolver roles

The Resolvers section of the Incident Console now lets you add labels to each of your resolvers describing their role or responsibilities in resolving the incident. This makes it easy to see what everyone is working on and why they're included in the incident resolution process:

xMatters REST API: Assign users a phone PIN

When you create or modify users with the xMatters REST API, you have the option to programmatically set their phone PIN – that's a number they can enter into their phone to identify themselves when they call into xMatters to retrieve their messages. To do this, include the new phonePin parameter in your request to Post /people.

Incident Management: Add resolvers without sending notifications

You can now immediately add resolvers to an existing incident without sending them a notification. This is useful when you've already got people working the incident and you simply want to add them to the list of engaged resolvers without making them stop what they're doing to acknowledge a message.

To do this, select the new Mark as Engaged option when you're adding resolvers. You'll then be able to select which users to add to the incident (you can't mark groups or dynamic teams as engaged).

To send a notification inviting users, groups, or dynamic teams to engage in the incident, select Notify to Engage.

Incident Management: Resolvers styling updates

We've streamlined the design of the Resolvers section so it's easier to see which groups are represented and what each user's engagement status is. With this cleaner design, actions to 'Notify' and 'Stop notifying' resolvers are available from an options menu, and you can move your cursor over a resolver's status to see the time they were notified or became engaged:

Flow Designer: New custom step image library

The next time you select an image for one of your custom steps or HTTP triggers, you'll notice we've made the following great improvements to the Image Library:

• Modern, streamlined design with a larger drag-and-drop surface for uploading images
• Custom icons at the top of list, with newest images listed first
• Improved resolution of the default images included in the library

COR-32912 (SUP-22583)	Messaging Forms: Corrected an issue that prevented the Send Message button from being visible at certain zoom levels.

November 30 - December 4, 2020

Post-Incident Report is now live in production

For details about what's included, see the related entry in the Joust Release Overview, or consult our online help for complete instructions.

Mobile Incident Management (iOS)

It's essential to stay connected when things go wrong so we're happy to announce that you can now manage incidents on the go! This version of the iOS app gives you the ability to view, update, and resolve incidents right from your iOS device.

Use the mobile incident console to update an incident's details, status, and severity by tapping the field:

 

The resolvers field shows any groups, users, or dynamic teams that are currently engaged. If you need additional resolvers to help with the incident, you can add them by tapping the field and selecting from the People and Groups contact lists:

Read more about how to use the new mobile features in the online help.

Don't use iOS? Don't worry—Mobile Incident Management for Android is coming soon!

Improving All Events report performance

To better support our customers with extensive historical data, we're making some changes to the All Events report. These enhancements will greatly reduce or even eliminate the timeout issues that some customers were experiencing when retrieving larger results sets. 

For the full deployment schedule and an explanation of the potential trade-off in overall response times, see our recent Enhancements to the All Events report article.

Use the /xMatters initiate command to provide basic information about the incident and select which Slack conversation to post details about the incident in after it's created:

Once the incident is initiated in xMatters, the bot posts a message with information about the incident to the conversation you selected:

Add an incident to a Microsoft Teams meeting

We've been working closely with Microsoft as it launches its new meeting extensibility capabilities, which add support for apps in online meetings. You can now add an xMatters tab to your meetings to keep your team up to date on incident details and collaborate on incidents without leaving your online meetings:

About the early access delivery process

Customers can choose to opt their non-production environments into an Early Access Program (EAP) to see new functionality before it's released. If you're considering signing up for the early access program, there are a couple of important things to know:

• Enrollment in EAP can be turned on any time through a support request.
• Exiting EAP can only be done on quarterly boundaries (you cannot opt in and out between quarterly releases).

For full details, refer to the official On-Demand Deployment Process & Early Access article.
