Observability: How to Create Dashboards and Alert Policies

Implementation workflow

This runbook focuses on a reliable sequence for provisioning and validating the service through the cloud console.

1. Open Observability and create dashboards for compute, network, and storage KPIs.
2. Add telemetry panels for latency, errors, saturation, and capacity trends.
3. Create alert rules with severity tiers and runbook references.
4. Bind alerts to notification destinations such as email, chat, or incident tools.
5. Run synthetic checks or controlled load tests to validate alert behavior.

Validation and operator checks

After deployment, verify connectivity, security boundaries, and backup posture before promoting workloads to production.
