Description:
Site reliability engineers (SREs) are typically good problem solvers. They need to think logically to identify problems, correct them, and prevent them from happening again.
In this course, you'll explore several built-in and open-source troubleshooting tools SREs can use for resolving system issues. You'll start by examining the techniques of logging and whitebox and blackbox monitoring used to monitor system events. You'll then work with the various built-in Windows troubleshooting tools, namely the Event Viewer, Resource Monitor, and System Information tools.
Next, you'll use Google Cloud Dataflow to process logs, before outlining the purpose and benefits of the StatsD standard and the /api/search endpoint. Lastly, you'll identify how Google's Dapper is used for troubleshooting distributed systems, and the open standards tool, Prometheus, for instrumenting software and exposing metrics.

Description:
Troubleshooting is a critical skill for site reliability engineers (SREs). Using past experiences, a proper mindset, and a stable troubleshooting process, SREs can effectively report, triage, examine, diagnose, test, and cure system issues.
In this course, you'll explore troubleshooting approaches and best practices, while also learning how to avoid common pitfalls. You'll explore issue reporting, triaging, examination, diagnosis, and testing. You'll recognize how to simplify and reduce troubleshooting, use the ""what, why, and where"" technique, and examine negative results. You'll also investigate how to observe and interpret recent changes to identify what went wrong with a system. Lastly, you'll locate probable cause factors and outline the steps used to make troubleshooting more effective.
