How to automate this
Low priority to automate, but here is the gist if you want to try.
Monitoring & tracking
Watch by exception, get pinged only when something needs you.
- 1Decide what counts as normal when you test, maintain, and monitor computer programs and systems, including coordinating the installation of computer, then set thresholds so the system flags exceptions automatically.
- 2Put live numbers on a dashboard instead of compiling status by hand.
- 3Route alerts to email or chat with a no-code flow.
