- Enable intelligent alerting and root cause analysis using ML-based models.
- Integrate ServiceNow ITOM for automated incident creation and enrichment.
- Automation & Self-Healing
- Develop automation playbooks and runbooks (Python, PowerShell, Ansible) for common incident types.
- Enable auto-remediation pipelines linked to AIOps events.
- Support auto-scaling, service restarts, and config drift corrections.
- Observability Architecture & Implementation
- Deploy logs, metrics, traces using Elastic Stack and Dynatrace.
- Define and implement Service Level Objectives (SLOs), error budgets, MTTR/MTTD benchmarks.
- Build dashboards in Grafana, Dynatrace, and ServiceNow Performance Analytics.
- Operational Process Reengineering
- Redesign and automate event, incident, change, and problem management processes.
- Align monitoring workflows with ServiceNow CMDB and CI health status.
