Create a 'Infrastructure monitoring' standard #260

Closed edhamiltonHO closed 9 months ago

edhamiltonHO commented 9 months ago

What is the standard you are suggesting? This will define the minimum set of resource monitoring for HO applications, systems etc. It is a promotion of current monitoring standards from the MBTP SRE Standard

What would be the benefit to the Home Office of adopting this standard? Monitoring of resource utilisation allows for infrastructure scaling to be automated in scenarios of load or stress, or under utilisation. This is also useful for diagnosing and alerting on issues and informing remedial actions, and for allowing trend analysis and future capacity planning. These things allow HO services to be more resilient and right-sized

How might people follow it Teams would be instructed on the minimal expectation for metrics to be collected and analysed

Additional information This will initially be a minimal set defined so as to be applied by teams across portfolios. It should be reviewed in a broader context to be extended in time
