- 9. TYPICAL IT ENV + ALERT MANAGEMENT IT/Dev Stack Monitoring Tools Opsgenie Operations Team Documentation & Reporting
- 10. MY IT STORY • Inherited a team w/ virtually no monitoring • Start monitoring w/ PRTG, Pingdom, direct from device • Dashboards on wall screens • Everyone getting alerts during business hours • After hours text alerts had no context • Side conversations…who has the ball? • New position…need to stop getting alerts • What about when someone leaves the company?
- 11. WHAT ARE WE SOLVING? Individuals vs. Teams • Forces culture of collaboration • Creates good will between IT & Business (Services Communication) • IT job satisfaction – Not tied to computer. Reduce alert fatigue • Silo breakdown – DevOps story
- 12. HOW ARE WE SOLVING? • Signal to noise • Dev and technology stacks becoming more and more complex • Monitoring tools like Datadog/New Relic/Splunk = Lots of alerts • Define criteria, Deduplication, Correlation • Ownership • Who should be alerted • When should they be alerted • How should they be alerted (Email, Phone, SMS, Mobile App) • Acknowledgement visibility • Automatic escalations
- 13. WHY NOW? • Chat tools have become the favored method of communication • ChatOps practices are being heavily adopted • Agile ticketing & project management solutions are being deployed. • Opsgenie can be engine behind these things so teams don’t have to change way they work.
- 14. SCENARIO • Education 2010 • Instructors come in August to prepare their courses • Platform ties together web portal, gradebook, enrollment, course material • Doing the right things…Full Dev/QA/Prod environments • URLs need to be updated for each environment (dev opportunity) • Nagios identified increasing latency in registrations (to Ops team) • Ops initial research – All hands on deck w/ dev • Dev team fixed but only after impact to business What would Marty McFly do?
- 15. EDUCATION REVISITED • Dev Team monitors latency in QA (<1s) = find bad code • Low Priority alert flows into Dev Team in Opsgenie • Gets tagged w/ gradebook • Ops team monitors infrastructure and higher level business metrics • Student enrollment time (7-8 seconds) in prod. • Gets tagged w/ gradebook • Reaches out to Dev with solution in hand
- 16. CORE COMPONENTS • Users • Teams Configuration • On-Call Schedules • Escalation Policies • Routing Rules • Integrations • Services • Alerts • Reporting
- 17. USERS • Can create manually • Can integrate with SSO • Extremely granular permissions • My Profile makes the tool work for the individual
- 18. ROLES • Base roles = User / Admin • Custom roles • Teams further define roles
- 23. TEAMS CONFIGURATION • When approached properly this can be a unifying experience • Teams are the core (bucket) • Creating a team is simple • Key is creating the right teams • Base on organizational alignment (responsibility) • Technical specification • Activity • Services • Geography • Combination
- 25. ON-CALL SCHEDULES • Builds team ownership • Promotes DevOps collaboration • Rotations = Shifts. Extremely flexible • Weekday/Weekend • Working/Non-working hours • Follow the sun • Rotations+Overrides=Final Schedule • This is where Opsgenie will route alerts to when that schedule is referenced • Multiple Schedules • Primary/Backup • Team/Escalation • Can view in any calendar program
- 27. ESCALATION POLICIES • Trust…but verify. Don’t micro-manage. • Setup after on call schedules defined • Incredibly flexible • Common setup = by priority • Use case: Phone died, fell asleep • What? Acknowledged (TTFR) and Closed (TTR) • Who? • Specific user • On-call per specified schedule • Team (Can be yours or others) • Others would then follow that team’s policies • Next or previous in rotation (helps with transition times) • All Members of team (yours or others…be careful!) • Admin(s), User(s), Random member of team (yours or others…be careful!)
- 28. ROUTING RULES • Journey to stop alert fatigue • Start small with highest value inputs to prove out everything else • Can route to teams, schedules, or escalations based on criteria (conditions) • Extremely flexible configuration
- 29. INTEGRATIONS • Meet them where they are • ChatOps – Where teams live (Slack) • DevOps – Link the Opsgenie incident to the Dev issue (Jira) • Service Desks – Enhance user incident management (JSD) • Over 200 (and growing) • API • Email • Bidirectional • Actions = Scenarios • Fit the tool to you
- 30. Filter the noise Drive action Automation Responsibility Context
- 31. SERVICES • Bridging the gap between IT and Business • Specific systems, tools, or products that IT responders are responsible for, and Stakeholders are interested in • Pre-define responsibility, who to communicate to, and what to communicate. • Incident Rules - Automatically generate Incidents from Alerts (Phase 2) Service
- 32. ALERTS • See the forest for the trees • Command Central • Fantastic search capabilities • Drive actions including custom scripts • Action in bulk
- 33. REPORTING • Yes • Intuition only goes so far • Data informed decisions • Trend analysis • Dashboards • Drill in for granularity • Grow into it – Don’t guess
- 34. TAKEAWAYS • Don't take big bang approach, get foundation in place, then increase flow into system (Cprime has a Foundation offering to help if needed). • Best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago; second best time is now. Not ONLY about technology & configurations. This is about people, process, & communication. • It’s a journey; not a destination. Approach it as such. Use it as opportunity to empower & enable your teams...and have some fun while doing it. • If looking to get funding, don't talk about the cost of the system. Talk about increased value the company gets by avoiding downtime and improving service to customer.
