Understand incident management with GitLab

What this post added

Introduced GitLab Incident Management as a viable category, aiming to decrease overhead by centralizing incident data and communication within a single DevOps platform. Key capabilities include incident issues for data capture, Slack integration for communication, Zoom linking, embedding of Kubernetes and Grafana metrics, a generic webhook receiver for alerts, and automatic issue closure upon Prometheus recovery alerts. The post outlines manual creation of incident issues via the 'incident' label and automatic creation from alerts using issue templates. It also details embedding metrics and linking action items (related issues/MRs) to incident tickets.
