Exercice d'incident

A simulated incident event conducted by IT operations or SRE teams to practice and evaluate readiness, coordination, and effectiveness of incident response procedures.

View term

Exercice de défaillance

A planned exercise simulating system or integration failure scenarios to validate incident response procedures, team readiness, and recovery playbooks.

View term

Fatigue des alertes

A state where operators or engineers become desensitized due to excessive or repetitive alerts, risking delayed or missed responses to real incidents.

View term

Gestion de la fatigue

The process of reducing operational overload and alert fatigue for IT and SRE teams by optimizing on-call scheduling, alert thresholds, and workload distribution.

View term

Injection de chaos

The deliberate introduction of faults, errors, or failures into a system to test and validate its resilience, observability, and incident response mechanisms.

A visual or tabular tool mapping the severity and probability of incidents or risks, guiding prioritization in response and remediation planning.

View term

Matrice d’escalade

A documented framework detailing incident severity levels, responsible roles, and the stepwise escalation path for critical incidents across support tiers.

View term

Objectif de disponibilité

A specific level of service uptime expressed as a percentage (e.g., 99.99%), used as an operational or contractual benchmark for system reliability.
