Learning Guidance

Objectives

  • separate otp send failures from otp verify failures
  • check switchboard and braze path for send failures
  • check bot/rate-limit patterns for verify failures
  • vendor delivery issue vs platform auth issue
  • bot traffic vs real customer impact

Evidence To Capture

  • send vs verify split
  • organization impact
  • bot indicator query results

Source Artifacts

Internal source references are available for maintainers but are not exposed in deployed environments.

Field Evidence

Real incidents related to what you're learning.

Module Content

Not Started

Key Takeaways

  • Monitor 137981342 fires.
  • Check send failure stream:
  • Check verify failure stream:
  • For send failures, verify Braze or Switchboard path health:
  • For verify spikes, check high-failure IP patterns and rate-limiting evidence.

Trigger

  • Monitor 137981342 fires.

Triage Steps

  1. Check send failure stream:
service:idpservice @event.action:otp_send @event.outcome:failure env:prod*
  1. Check verify failure stream:
service:idpservice @event.action:otp_verify @event.outcome:failure env:prod*
  1. For send failures, verify Braze or Switchboard path health:
service:switchboard* @msg.type:customer.send_credentials env:prod*
  1. For verify spikes, check high-failure IP patterns and rate-limiting evidence.
  2. Quantify brand impact by @organization.

Escalation

  • Customer-auth on-call for IDP faults.
  • YCCAT for Braze/Switchboard integration faults.
  • Security if bot or credential-stuffing indicators are strong.

Recovery Validation

  • OTP send/verify success trends normalize.
  • Login success returns without sustained fallback pressure.
