review-observability

To audit an observability plan, review it against system specifications and requirements to identify coverage gaps, consistency issues, and overlap with telemetry. This assessment evaluates logs, metrics, and alerts across five categories to ensure reliability and diagnosability.

An actionable observability plan ensures logs, metrics, and alerts are complete, consistent, and cross-referenced with telemetry specifications. Evaluating actionability involves checking whether the telemetry data effectively surfaces issues and supports reliable system diagnosis.

Cross-referencing a telemetry plan involves comparing it against system specifications and requirements to surface coverage gaps and overlapping data. This process produces a structured report assessing completeness, actionability, and consistency across the observability strategy.

You should review metrics and alerts for telemetry overlap when assessing observability plan consistency. Identifying redundant telemetry helps resolve coverage gaps and ensures alerting mechanisms remain actionable without duplicating diagnostic data.

Yes, reviewing an observability plan includes updating the frontmatter status and appending questions as part of the workflow. This occurs when findings across completeness, actionability, consistency, and coverage gaps are resolved.
