Runbook O-20 for Observability in Miami (MIA). Marker xserv-o-4b93ad714dde. This page covers cache for LATAM operators, not a worldwide average.
Observability: How XServ runs it day to day
Probes for Observability (o-02) leave Santiago every 15s toward Bogotá. XServ pages the named owner if loss or RTT crosses the letter budget. A probe never shares a queue with bulk transfers, so a saturated WAN does not hide a dead PoP.
Observability: What operators should measure
Policy for Observability is versioned as o-03. Operators measure error rate, p95 from Bogotá, and time-to-rollback — not a worldwide average. Changes land in Bogotá first, then Miami, with a hold if either region regresses.
Observability: Failure modes we actually see
Capacity notes for o-04 assume rainy-season power in Miami and festival peaks toward São Paulo. The failure we actually see is a single uplink, not a cartoon partition of the whole continent. Spare ports and a second provider sit on the same runbook.

Observability handoff O-05
Handoff from letter O Observability into the rest of the platform uses the same request IDs as the gateway. Runbook o-05 names who accepts the ticket after São Paulo pages out. Santiago does not silently inherit the incident.
Observability rollback O-06
Rollback for o-06 is a documented command, not a hope. Transit is billed as backup while Observability prefers peering in Santiago. If cost spikes, the runbook cuts overflow to Bogotá before touching customer prefixes.
Observability peering O-07
Peering for Observability (o-07) prefers the IX fabric that already carries last-mile ISPs in Bogotá. Session counts and prefix limits are on the same page as the Miami backup path.
- Is transit the default path?
- No. Peering in Miami is default; transit to São Paulo is overflow and is billed that way.
- Does Observability on letter O share fate with other letters?
- The control plane is shared. Data-plane queues for Observability stay isolated, so incident o-01 cannot drain neighbor letters.
