What problem does it solve?

This Skill analyzes historical postmortem data to identify recurrence patterns, trigger categorization, and timing metrics like MTTR and MTTD.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Recurrence Grouping: Group incidents by service and failure mode to identify recurring issues.
  • Trigger Categorization: Classify triggers for better understanding of incident root causes.
  • Timing Metrics: Compute MTTR and MTTD to improve incident response times.
  • Use Case: For incident managers looking to understand the frequency and nature of recurring incidents to improve system reliability.

Quick Start

Run the incident-trend-analyzer skill on the postmortem data in the 'docs/postmortems/' directory to analyze trends and timing metrics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze postmortem data for incident recurrence patterns?

Analyzing postmortem data for recurrence patterns involves grouping historical incidents by service and failure mode to identify recurring issues. This process helps incident managers understand the frequency and nature of repeated system failures.

What is the best way to calculate MTTR and MTTD from historical incident reports?

Calculating MTTR and MTTD from historical incident reports requires extracting timing information using predefined patterns and heuristics. This computes mean time to recovery and detection to help improve overall incident response times.

How do I categorize incident triggers from a corpus of postmortem files?

Categorizing incident triggers from a corpus of postmortem files classifies root causes for better understanding of incident origins. It uses predefined heuristics to extract and group trigger information from the historical text.

Can I use predefined patterns to extract timing metrics from unstructured postmortems?

Yes, you can extract timing metrics from unstructured postmortems by applying predefined patterns and heuristics. This approach assumes a corpus of postmortem files and automatically pulls relevant data to calculate metrics like MTTR and MTTD.

Does incident recurrence analysis work without a standardized postmortem format?

Incident recurrence analysis relies on predefined patterns and heuristics to extract information, so highly unstructured or non-standard postmortem formats may limit the accuracy of trigger categorization and timing metric calculations.
