Watching for problems.
WHERE IT HELPS
Explaining what an alert means Analysing log patterns Drafting incident summaries Writing procedures for what to do
FOR LOGS
"Here is a log extract around the time of the failure. What stands out?"
Useful for finding the relevant entries in volume.
Verify the conclusion against the actual entries.
FOR ALERTS
Explaining what a monitoring alert indicates and what to check.
FOR INCIDENT RECORDS
"Here are my notes from the incident. Write a clear record: timeline, cause, actions taken, resolution."
Check every detail. An incident record may be examined later.
WHAT TO NEVER GENERATE
Facts in an incident record Times Causes you did not establish
FOR PROCEDURES
Documenting what to do when something happens.
Test the procedure before relying on it.
WHAT MONITORING AI DOES NOT REPLACE
Actual monitoring. You still need something checking whether the site responds.
