Observability & incidents

5 cases Category 7 of 20

This band maps to SRE/on-call workflows: clustering noisy logs, triaging incident impact, drafting rollback/scale/change steps, shift handoffs, and periodic patrols. It pairs with Platform & release when you fold config and release windows into the same on-call context. Outputs should emphasize timelines, ownership, and escalation—agents must not execute unapproved production changes.

In the case hub it is Observability & incidents (#cat-devops), focused on runtime and emergency response rather than pipeline configuration alone.

In depth

Incident RCA and impact triage

Order alerts, deploys, and external dependencies on a timeline; separate hypotheses from facts and estimate affected users or tenants for war-room shared notes.

Rollback, scale-out, and change drafts

List options (rollback, scale out, throttle, degrade) with risks and verification; include internal comms points without implying unapproved changes.

On-call handoff and summary

Summarize open incidents, temporary mitigations, monitoring gaps, and runbooks; document escalation paths and forbidden actions so nothing is lost between shifts.
