Knowing what to monitor, how, and what questions to ask of your internal customers and of your monitoring platform itself can be difficult. Using my experience as an EMT and time working in ERs and ambulances, places where incident response can be a high-stress environment, I present a high-level framework for beginner and intermediate incident responders that will help them calmly and systematically tackle incidents.
I’ll cover things like:
