What goes into an ML alert runbook?

medium

Answer

  • (1) Alert description + severity.
  • (2) Impact assessment: what's affected?
  • (3) Diagnostic queries: SQL / Grafana links.
  • (4) Common causes + likely fixes.
  • (5) Escalation path if diagnostics fail.
  • (6) Rollback / mitigation steps.
  • (7) Post-mortem template link.
  • Stored in wiki / Runhouse / PagerDuty; linked from every alert.
  • Rule: every alert must have a runbook; if you can't write one, the alert isn't ready to fire.
