What dashboards do you open first during an incident?
Core Summary
Good responders have a rehearsed order: service health to find the blast radius, golden signals to work out what kind of failure it is, then traces to localise it. Opening application logs first is usually the tell that someone doesn't know their own observability stack.
Hints
Hint 1: Start broad, then narrow to the blast radius
Hint 2: You already have a mental checklist before the incident starts
Hint 3: Metrics beat logs for incident triage
