## Best Practices

### Detection Best Practices

1. **Set Appropriate Thresholds**
   - Avoid false positives with too-low thresholds
   - Avoid missed incidents with too-high thresholds
   - Adjust based on baseline metrics

2. **Use Multiple Detection Methods**
   - Combine error rate, latency, and health checks
   - Cross-validate detections across systems
   - Use trend-based detection for gradual issues

3. **Regular Rule Review**
   - Review detection rules quarterly
   - Adjust thresholds based on incident data
   - Add new rules for emerging patterns

---

### Response Best Practices

1. **Prioritize Safety**
   - Default to safe actions only for auto-remediation
   - Require approval for risky actions
   - Always have rollback plan

2. **Communicate Early**
   - Notify stakeholders immediately
   - Provide regular updates
   - Be transparent about impact

3. **Document Everything**
   - Track all actions taken
   - Record decision rationale
   - Capture lessons learned

---

### Prevention Best Practices

1. **Learn from Incidents**
   - Conduct blameless post-mortems
   - Implement preventive measures
   - Share findings across teams

2. **Improve Observability**
   - Add monitoring for blind spots
   - Create dashboards for key metrics
   - Set up automated alerts

3. **Build Resilience**
   - Implement circuit breakers
   - Use retries with backoff
   - Design for graceful degradation

---

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

#### Issue: False Positives

**Symptoms**: Incidents detected but no actual problem

**Solutions**:
1. Adjust detection thresholds
2. Add filtering conditions
3. Increase time window
4. Require consecutive events

```python
# Update rule to reduce false positives
rule.time_window_seconds = 600  # Increase from 300
rule.error_threshold = 15       # Increase from 10
rule.require_consecutive = True # Add consecutiveness check
```

---

#### Issue: False Negatives

**Symptoms**: Real problems not detected

**Solutions**:
1. Lower detection thresholds
2. Add more detection rules
3. Reduce time window
4. Check event generation

```python
# Update rule to increase sensitivity
rule.time_window_seconds = 180  # Decrease from 300
rule.error_threshold = 5        # Decrease from 10
```

---

#### Issue: Slow Auto-Remediation

**Symptoms**: Remediation actions take too long

**Solutions**:
1. Check action execution logic
2. Optimize action scripts
3. Add parallel execution
4. Pre-authorize safe actions

---

#### Issue: Notification Failures

**Symptoms**: Notifications not sent or received

**Solutions**:
1. Verify notification channel configuration
2. Check API credentials
3. Test notification endpoints
4. Add fallback channels

---

#### Issue: High MTTD

**Symptoms**: Long time to detect incidents

**Solutions**:
1. Reduce detection check interval
2. Add real-time event streaming
3. Implement proactive monitoring
4. Use anomaly detection

---

## Integration Guide

### Integrating with Existing Systems

#### 1. Event Integration

Submit events from your systems:

```python
from mahavishnu.patterns.incident_response import IncidentManager, IncidentEvent, IncidentSeverity

manager = IncidentManager(config)

# Create event from your system
event = IncidentEvent(
    event_id="evt_001",
    timestamp=datetime.now(tz=UTC),
    event_type="error",
    source="my_service",
    severity=IncidentSeverity.HIGH,
    message="Error occurred in my_service",
    metadata={
        "error_code": 500,
        "endpoint": "/api/users",
        "user_id": "user_123",
    },
    correlation_id="request_456",
)

# Submit to incident manager
await manager.submit_event(event)
```

---

#### 2. Monitoring Integration

Integrate with monitoring tools:

```python
# Prometheus integration
from prometheus_client import start_http_server

# Start metrics server
start_http_server(8000)

# Expose incident metrics
@ INCIDENT_MANAGER.get_statistics()
def incident_metrics():
    stats = INCIDENT_MANAGER.get_statistics()
    return {
        "incidents_total": stats["total_incidents"],
        "incidents_active": stats["active_incidents"],
        "incidents_by_severity": stats["by_severity"],
    }
```

---

#### 3. Notification Integration

Configure notification channels:

```python
from mahavishnu.patterns.incident_response import IncidentNotifier, NotificationChannel

notifier = IncidentNotifier(config)

# Configure Slack webhook
notifier.slack_webhook_url = "https://hooks.slack.com/services/YOUR/WEBHOOK/URL"

# Configure PagerDuty
notifier.pagerduty_api_key = "your_pagerduty_api_key"
notifier.pagerduty_service_key = "your_service_key"

# Configure email
notifier.smtp_server = "smtp.example.com"
notifier.smtp_port = 587
notifier.smtp_username = "alerts@example.com"
notifier.smtp_password = "password"
```

---

#### 4. Webhook Integration

Send incident updates to webhooks:

```python
import aiohttp

async def send_webhook(incident: Incident, webhook_url: str):
    async with aiohttp.ClientSession() as session:
        payload = {
            "incident_id": incident.incident_id,
            "type": incident.incident_type.value,
            "severity": incident.severity.value,
            "status": incident.status.value,
            "title": incident.title,
            "url": f"https://dashboard.example.com/incidents/{incident.incident_id}",
        }

        async with session.post(webhook_url, json=payload) as response:
            return await response.json()
```

---

## Performance Tuning

### Detection Performance

#### Optimize Event Retention

```python
# Reduce event retention time
detector = IncidentDetector(config)
detector.events_retention_seconds = 1800  # 30 minutes instead of 1 hour
```

#### Optimize Check Interval

```python
# Adjust detection check frequency
for rule in detector.rules.values():
    rule.check_interval_seconds = 120  # Check every 2 minutes
```

#### Batch Event Processing

```python
# Process events in batches
async def process_events_batch(events: list[IncidentEvent]):
    for event in events:
        detector.add_event(event)

    # Run detection once per batch
    await detector.detect_incidents()
```

---

### Memory Management

#### Limit Event History

```python
# Keep only last N events
detector.max_events = 1000

# Prune old events periodically
async def prune_old_events():
    while True:
        await asyncio.sleep(300)  # Every 5 minutes
        detector.prune_events(older_than_seconds=3600)
```

#### Limit Incident History

```python
# Archive old incidents
workflow.max_resolved_incidents = 100

# Archive to storage
async def archive_old_incidents():
    old_incidents = [
        inc for inc in workflow.resolved_incidents
        if inc.resolved_at < datetime.now(tz=UTC) - timedelta(days=30)
    ]

    for incident in old_incidents:
        await archive_to_storage(incident)
        workflow.resolved_incidents.remove(incident)
```

---

### Concurrency Optimization

#### Parallel Incident Processing

```python
# Process multiple incidents concurrently
async def process_incidents_concurrently(incidents: list[Incident]):
    tasks = [workflow.process_incident(inc) for inc in incidents]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
    return results
```

#### Parallel Action Execution

```python
# Execute multiple remediation actions concurrently
async def execute_actions_parallel(actions: list[RemediationAction], incident: Incident):
    tasks = [responder.execute_action(action, incident) for action in actions]
    results = await asyncio.gather(*tasks, return_exceptions=True)
    return results
```

---

### Monitoring Performance

#### Track Detection Latency

```python
import time

async def detect_with_latency_tracking():
    start = time.time()
    incidents = await detector.detect_incidents()
    latency = time.time() - start

    # Log or metric
    logger.info(f"Detection latency: {latency:.3f}s")
    return incidents
```

#### Track Incident Processing Time

```python
async def process_with_timer(incident: Incident):
    start = time.time()
    result = await workflow.process_incident(incident)
    duration = time.time() - start

    logger.info(f"Incident {incident.incident_id} processed in {duration:.3f}s")
    return result
```

---
