+= {coo-full} incident detection overview
+
+Clusters can generate significant volumes of monitoring data, making it hard for you to distinguish critical signals from noise.
+Single incidents can trigger a cascade of alerts, and this results in extended time to detect and resolve issues.
+
+The {coo-full} incident detection feature groups related alerts into *incidents*. These incidents are then visualized as timelines that are color-coded by severity.
+Alerts are mapped to specific components, grouped by severity, helping you to identify root causes by focusing on high impact components first.
+You can then drill down from the incident timelines to individual alerts to determine how to fix the underlying issue.
+
+{coo-full} incident detection transforms the alert storm into clear steps for faster understanding and resolution of the incidents that occur on your clusters.

+====
+It will take at least 10 minutes to process the correlations and to see the timeline, after you enable incident detection.

+
+* Depending on the order of the timeline bars, the tooltip might overlap and hide the underlying bar. You can still click the bar and select the incident or alert.
+
+* The Silence Alert button in the **Incidents** -> **Component** section does not pre-populate the fields and is not usable. As a workaround, you can use the same menu and the Silence Alert button in the **Alerting** section instead.
