Monitoring workflows
Repeatable routines for launches, migrations, client portfolios and email incidents.
A monitoring routine needs an owner, a baseline and a response to a meaningful change. Keep the sender inventory and approved DNS configuration alongside incident notes. HealthCheck Email supplies checks, history and supported alerts; publishing DNS changes and administering mail systems remain with your team.
