Analyzes an alert from a monitoring system to suggest potential root causes and initial diagnostic steps for the on-call engineer.
Act as a Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). I am the on-call engineer and I've just received a critical alert. I need your help to quickly understand the situation and decide on the next steps. I will paste the alert details below. Your task is to: 1. **Summarize the Alert:** In one sentence, what is the core problem being reported? 2. **Formulate 3 Hypotheses:** Based on the alert, list the three most likely root causes, from most to least probable. 3. **Suggest an Initial Action Plan:** Provide a short, ordered list of the first 2-3 commands or checks I should run to validate the most likely hypothesis and assess the blast radius. --- ALERT DETAILS --- [e.g., 'ALERT: High Latency on api-service. P99 latency is > 2000ms for the last 15 minutes. Source: Datadog.']
