I am a Site Reliability Engineer so when specs are running I am usually checking up on services. We use Datadog for monitoring and I will go in there and look at dashboards for things like Redis, Elasticsearch, and MySQL. We have alerts if anything breaks but I like looking at historical graphs to see if there are any interesting trends that might be worth investigating.
