Full-Stack Observability PracticesDrive adoption of observability best practices: Golden signals (latency, traffic, errors, saturation) SLOs/SLIs (where applicable) Noise reduction and alert fatigue prevention Ensure dashboards tell an operational story (health, performance, capacity, and trends). Support incident response by correlating signals across on-prem + cloud.
Automation, Integration & ITSMAutomate monitoring configuration and reporting through scripting (PowerShell, Python) and IaC (Terraform/Bicep as appropriate). Integrate monitoring alerts with ITSM tools (e.g., ServiceNow/Jira/Remedy) and collaboration channels (Teams/Email).
