What to notice while you play.

Objective

Use commands and observable output to explain read latency percentiles without changing a real model or service.

Hint

Start with cat /opt/ai-lab/observability/metrics.txt. Then run aiops traces latency read-latency-percentiles before collecting the final evidence.

Why it matters

Read latency percentiles is an operator skill because AI behavior must be connected to versioned configuration, runtime state, and inspectable evidence.

Common mistakes
  • Skipping the baseline fixture before reasoning about read latency percentiles.
  • Treating one simulated output as proof of root cause instead of one bounded piece of evidence.
