Environments & tone

A prod outage should read like war. A staging hiccup should read like a heads-up. Inkvo maps each environment to a tone so the urgency of the words matches the urgency of reality.

The mapping

Tone changes the writing, the severity thresholds, and the default routing — all at once. You're not configuring three separate alerting policies; you're declaring what an environment means.

Setting the environment

Inkvo reads the OTel deployment.environment resource attribute. Anything that isn't production or staging is treated as development by default; you can remap custom names (preview, canary) in Settings → Detection.
