Once SRE metrics have been identified, site reliability engineers (SREs) must know how to perform fault analysis on a system, classify defects, and monitor and report data. In this course, you'll explore the tools and best practices for carrying out these procedures.
You'll begin by identifying various fault analysis methods and tools. You'll then classify software defects and bugs with a focus on severity and priority.
Next, you'll investigate strategies for monitoring APIs and explore some tools used for this task. You'll then examine in detail several tools for collecting, analyzing, and reporting metric data using a customizable dashboard, including those that comprise the ELK Stack - Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Furthermore, you'll explore the data collection tool Beats and the beneficial use cases for Elasticsearch notifications.
