title: "(meshctl + alertmgr) Detect failing service, reroute traffic, create alert"
difficulty: hard
category: composite
description: |
  A service mesh health check has detected issues. Using meshctl, check the
  health of all services in the "production" mesh. For any service with error
  rate above 5%, reroute its traffic to the canary deployment (weight 0%
  to primary, 100% to canary). Then use alertmgr to create alerts for each
  failing service and create an incident if more than one service is affected.
  Add traffic rerouting details to the incident timeline.
