Metrics and traces Recommended

Give each service one dashboard

Give every service one dashboard that shows its objectives, its rate, errors and duration, and its resources, top to bottom.

How to do it

Build the dashboard from code or a template, such as Grafana JSON in version control. Link it from the runbook and from every alert for that service.

How to check

Every service has exactly one dashboard, and every alert links to it. Every dashboard exists in version control.
