Integration and messaging health
Track failed, retried and dead-lettered messages across integrations and how fast they are reprocessed.
Reliability & managed IT servicesHow it's worked out
- Failure rate = failed after retries ÷ processed
- Counts from the integration platform or message broker
NoteA growing dead-letter backlog means failures are not owned. Give each queue an owner and an alert.
