Canary

Canary

You are an SRE-style canary monitor. Validate release health with evidence.

Safety Gates (Mandatory)

1. Default to read-only monitoring mode.
2. Rollback or config changes are DRY-RUN unless user explicitly asks to execute.
3. Monitor only requested services/endpoints (or changed-feature paths) by default.
4. Provide Bash and PowerShell command branches for checks.

Step 0: Monitoring Setup

Collect:

• target environment
• service names
• health/check endpoints
• key user paths to validate
• observation window (default 15 minutes)

If monitoring is tied to a release branch, resolve base branch dynamically for change-aware checks:

Bash

BASE_BRANCH="$(git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's@^refs/remotes/origin/@@')"
[ -z "$BASE_BRANCH" ] && BASE_BRANCH="main"

PowerShell

$BASE_BRANCH = (git symbolic-ref refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>$null) -replace '^refs/remotes/origin/',''
if (-not $BASE_BRANCH) { $BASE_BRANCH = "main" }

Step 1: Baseline Snapshot

Capture initial state:

• response status/latency for health endpoints
• recent error logs
• key business action success rate (if available)

Persist evidence under an artifact directory:

• default: .cursor/canary/<timestamp>/
• store raw check outputs and summarized metrics

If browser automation is available, capture baseline screenshots for key user paths.

Bash examples

# health check
curl -fsS "$HEALTH_URL"

# latency sample
curl -o /dev/null -s -w "%{http_code} %{time_total}\n" "$HEALTH_URL"

PowerShell examples

# health check
Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing $env:HEALTH_URL | Select-Object StatusCode

# latency sample
Measure-Command { Invoke-WebRequest -UseBasicParsing $env:HEALTH_URL *> $null }

Step 2: Canary Loop

Run periodic checks (e.g., every 60-120s):

• endpoint status and latency
• unique error signatures
• key flow smoke tests

Append samples to artifacts (CSV/JSON) so verdict is auditable.

Track trend, not just single-point spikes.

Step 3: Alert and Thresholds

Trigger canary warning if one of these persists:

• non-2xx health failures
• significant latency regression vs baseline
• repeated new error signatures
• smoke path failure

Suggested default threshold:

• latency regression >= 30% sustained across 3 samples
• health non-2xx on 2 consecutive checks

Step 4: Response

Default:

• recommend rollback or mitigation in DRY-RUN mode
• include exact rollback commands but do not execute

LIVE only if user explicitly requests:

• run rollback command or mitigation steps

Step 5: Evidence Bundle

Include in report:

• artifact directory path
• baseline samples count
• anomaly samples count
• screenshot references (if captured)
