Incident Slo Runbook

majiayu000/incident-slo-runbook

Create or audit SLOs, SLIs, alert rules, incident response steps, escalation paths, postmortems, operational runbooks, and customer-impact communication. Use when defining production reliability, preparing launch readiness, responding to an outage, writing a runbook, tuning alerts, or closing the loop after an incident.

Incident SLO Runbook

Purpose

Use this skill to connect observability to action. Metrics and logs are not enough; each critical user journey needs an SLO, alert, owner, response path, and post-incident learning loop.

SLO Design

Define:

  • User journey or system capability.
  • SLI: request success, latency, freshness, durability, or job completion.
  • SLO target and measurement window.
  • Error budget and burn-rate alerts.
  • Exclusions with rationale.
  • Dashboard and data source.
  • Owner and escalation path.

Avoid vanity metrics. Prefer user-visible success and latency over internal counters unless internal counters are the only reliable proxy.

Runbook Requirements

Each runbook should include:

  • Symptom and alert name.
  • Impacted users or systems.
  • First 5-minute checks.
  • Triage decision tree.
  • Mitigation steps with commands.
  • Rollback or failover path.
  • Escalation owner.
  • Customer/support communication note.
  • Postmortem trigger.

Commands must be safe to run or explicitly labeled destructive.

Incident Flow

  • Declare severity and incident commander.
  • Confirm impact from live evidence.
  • Stabilize with the lowest-risk mitigation.
  • Communicate status on a fixed cadence.
  • Preserve evidence before cleanup.
  • Write a blameless postmortem with action items and owners.
