Learning Guidance

Objectives

  • identify failing endpoint and organization
  • classify timeout vs immediate failure signatures
  • determine subscriber criticality
  • external vendor timeout vs internal endpoint failure
  • wait-and-observe noise profile vs immediate escalation

Evidence To Capture

  • endpoint and organization scope
  • error type and duration
  • subscriber impact class

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.

Key Takeaways

  • Monitor 154947187 fires.
  • Query dispatch failures:
  • Group by endpoint and organization.
  • timeout/504 patterns (often external)
  • immediate 5xx or connection refusal (internal or hard dependency)

Trigger

  • Monitor 154947187 fires.

Triage Steps

  1. Query dispatch failures:
service:switchboard* @event.action:dispatcher.dispatch -@event.outcome:success
  1. Group by endpoint and organization.
  2. Classify error type:
  • timeout/504 patterns (often external)
  • immediate 5xx or connection refusal (internal or hard dependency)
  1. Determine subscriber business criticality:
  • kitchen/menu display impact
  • aggregator menu sync impact
  • order event impact

Escalation

  • Cart/connect on-call for sustained dispatch failures.
  • SRE if infra symptoms (DNS, node concentration, network issues) are present.

Recovery Validation

  • Dispatch success trend back to baseline.
  • No continued backlog on related consumer latency monitors.
