- Stakeholders have provided input on monitoring priorities.
Acceptance Criteria
- Alert rules are configured for high-priority metrics (e.g., CPU, memory, pod restarts, etc.).
- Dashboards are updated to reflect key metrics for services and infrastructure.
- Alert thresholds are fine-tuned to reduce noise and false positives.
- Notification channels (e.g., Slack, email, PagerDuty) are integrated and tested.
- Documentation is updated with alerting logic and dashboard usage.
Definition of Done
