Change lifecycle
Change monitoring workflow: detect, triage, close
DiffMon is built for teams that need more than alerts. Move from detection to incident triage, then close the loop by acknowledging expected drift and accepting a new baseline.
Workflow stages
1. Detect
Run scheduled checks on APIs and pages with deterministic diffing, ignore rules, and request-level metadata.
2. Triage
Classify drift (schema, value, mixed), inspect changed paths, and route incidents to the right owner.
3. Acknowledge
Mark expected change so teams stop re-processing known events and keep focus on unresolved risk.
4. Accept baseline
Promote the new state after review so future alerts reflect fresh drift, not already-approved changes.
Implementation notes
- Prioritize schema_change and mixed events for API monitors.
- Use ignore rules before muting to reduce alert fatigue without losing signal.
- Send machine-readable webhook events into your incident workflow.
- Keep evidence links and request IDs in every incident for fast closure.
