Submit a ticketChoose useful signals
Logs describe events, metrics show values over time, and traces connect a request across services. A task benefits from the signals that help explain its behavior.
Alert on a user-relevant symptom
An alert should point to an observable condition, its likely impact and the person or team responsible for deciding what happens next. Thresholds depend on the application.
Write down the response path
Document how to acknowledge an alert, gather context, roll back a change and ask for help. These are operational decisions for each team; this article does not promise a response time or service level.
Add observability to the ticket
For a bounded change, name the behavior that should be visible after release and how the team can check it. Keep credentials and customer data out of task descriptions.
