# Cortex Incident Management
Triage the error-signature backlog, review recent alert firings, find prior
occurrences of a problem, and pull full context around a time window. This
skill is for incident-response workflows — not general log search (use
`cortex` for that) and not connection/service failures (use
`troubleshoot` for that).
## Workflow
### 1. Find what's unaddressed
Start here for "what's still open" / "what haven't we fixed" questions.
`cortex action=unaddressed_errors [limit=N] [include_acknowledged=true]`
(CLI: `cortex alerts signatures [--include-acknowledged] [--limit N]`)
Returns `signatures[]`, each with a `signature_hash` (the stable key for
everything downstream), a `template`/`sample_message`, `severity`,
`sample_hostname`, `first_seen_at`/`last_seen_at`, `total_count`, and
`count_last_1h`. By default only unacknowledged signatures are returned —
pass `include_acknowledged=true` to see the full set including ones already
handled.
Triage priority: high `count_last_1h` (still actively firing) beats high
`total_count` alone (could be a stale, no-longer-occurring pattern).
### 2. Acknowledge or un-acknowledge a signature
Once a signature is understood and either fixed or explicitly accepted as
known/benign, acknowledge it so it drops out of the default
`unaddressed_errors` view:
`cortex action=ack_error signature_hash=<hash> [notes="..."]`
(CLI: `cortex alerts signatures ack <signature_hash> [--notes TEXT]`)
To reverse a bad acknowledgement (e.g. i
