Linking Entities

Connect monitors, incidents, and other resources to catalog entities to provide operational context.

Prerequisites

  • Catalog entities created in your project
  • Access to monitors or incidents to link

When creating or editing a monitor:

  1. Navigate to Monitors and open a monitor’s settings
  2. Locate the Entity Relationships section
  3. Click Link Catalog Entity
  4. Select the relationship type (e.g., “Depends on”)
  5. Select the target entity
  6. Click Link
  7. Save the monitor

The monitor’s health now appears on the entity’s detail page under Linked Monitors.

When creating or editing an incident:

  1. Navigate to Incidents and open the incident
  2. Locate the entity linking section
  3. Select catalog entities affected by this incident
  4. Save the incident

The incident appears on each linked entity’s Active Incidents section.

Each entity detail page shows linked resources:

Linked Monitors section displays:

  • Monitor name and URL
  • Relationship type (shown from the entity’s perspective)
  • 30-day uptime percentage
  • Link to the monitor details

Active Incidents section displays:

  • Incident name
  • Priority and status
  • Creation date
  • Link to the incident

Result

Monitors and incidents are connected to catalog entities, providing context during operations and tracking the health of your services through the Catalog.

Why Linking Matters

When you link entities to monitors and incidents:

  • Entity pages show health - Linked monitor status appears on entity details
  • Incidents show context - Related services appear during incident investigation
  • Status pages reflect reality - Entity health drives status page components
  • Automations have context - Workflows can filter based on linked entities
