Failure handling
A failure becomes a record with its measured cause, and the fix is tracked until it is closed.
After a failure
It becomes a record. Each failure is filed with its measured cause, and a fix is tracked to closure, so the same mistake is news once. That is different from logging: a log entry is a line; a failure record has a cause and a closed state. The briefing tells operators what moved, what is stuck and what is waiting on them.
When an agent is wrong
Consequential actions pass a coherence check before they run, and data is validated against explicit schemas before it lands. If something still goes wrong, the miss becomes a record with its measured cause, and the fix is tracked until it is closed. A signal the platform cannot read reports unknown, never healthy.
Failure handling, by category
- What the category typically offers: Errors go to logs and dashboards; retries are configurable.
- What OCTOPUS does: A failure becomes a tracked record with a measured cause and a fix carried to closure.
- Question to ask any vendor: Show the record for your last agent failure and the fix that closed it.
