Telemetry Snippets decorator now wraps every nightly FTP pull.
Python Basics
Telemetry Snippets for Script Health
Instrument small automations with structured logs and lightweight metrics without heavy stacks.
Program narrative
Give your scripts observability that operations teams trust. You will emit structured JSON logs, track durations, and build a simple dashboard sketch using plain text outputs that BI tools can ingest later.
Inside the bundle
- Structured logging recipe compatible with Windows Event Log forwards
- Timer decorators with percentile-friendly summaries
- Sampling strategy for noisy loops
- Alert thresholds that avoid alert fatigue
- Mentor review of a redacted log stream
- CSV export of nightly run stats for analysts
- Checklist for tagging scripts with owners and runbooks
Outcomes we expect you to evidence
- Add structured telemetry to two existing scripts
- Define an alert threshold backed by a week of sample data
- Present a one-page health report to a mentor
Mentor anchor
Python instructor who ships instrumentation before adding new features.

Participant questions
We mention pull-based metrics conceptually; exercises stay file and stdout based.
Not required; you can forward JSON logs later using your org’s tooling.
No hosted dashboard is provided; you sketch dashboards on paper or slides.
Recent peer notes
Still tuning alert thresholds, but mentors insisted on real numbers — appreciated the pushback.
