A practical scenario
An incident reviewer is testing a deployment hypothesis. Align alerts, metrics and release events on one timeline and identify observations that would support or weaken the proposed cause.
Source material to consider
- Alert timeline
- Metric samples
- Deployment events
Before designing a connection
Correlation with a deployment is a hypothesis to test, not a confirmed root cause.
