Root Causes

Trigger

  • A user reported in Teams Support Channel that their connections had not been working correctly

Resolution

  • R

Detection

  • A user reported in Teams Support Channel

Actions

  • For new reval - we need add monitoring so we know if the sync job to get the data from GMC and if we build any ETL/Transformation service are run successfully or fail - we could use this ticket https://hee-tis.atlassian.net/browse/TISNEW-3264

  • Decision taken not to address the monitoring in the current reval application as the new one is pretty close to being live (December 2020)

Lessons Learned (Good and Bad)

  • Still limited knowledge within the existing teams about how the existing module works (which is why the rebuild is taking place)

  • Current monitoring requires more investment to get it to work more reliably - problems with set to fail on the first occurrence and alerting would need to be written into the individual apps rather than checking of logs

  • Jobs need to be started via Jenkins

  • check the jenkins jobs for 1. what they do, and 2. what the logs for that run said.
