Runbook Rewrite. Rewrote runbooks for the 20 alarms that generated most of the volume, based on what engineers actually did rather than what the vendor documentation said. Mean time to resolution fell from 74 minutes to 26.
Remediation Automation. Automated 34 recurring tasks in Python and Ansible, from interface resets to log collection, removing about 900 manual interventions a year and the transcription errors that came with them.
Threshold Retuning. Retuned monitoring thresholds on 120 interfaces after tracking which alarms never led to action. False alarms fell 44%, which mattered because the team had begun ignoring a whole alarm class.
