May 2026 (Month: 2026-05) focused on delivering Kueue Monitoring and Alerting enhancements for redhat-appstudio/o11y, delivering measurable business value through improved visibility, faster issue detection, and reduced alert noise. Key improvements include a Grafana dashboard for predictive alerts, priority-based admission wait time alerts, and resource saturation metrics, plus comprehensive dashboard configuration. I also implemented alert rule tweaks to reduce noise and updated thresholds for more realistic operation windows. As a result, incident response time improved and capacity planning data improved.
