+## Lab 8 - Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
+
+## Task 1 - Key Metrics for SRE and System Analysis
+
+### 1.1 Resource Monitoring
+
+#### Top CPU Consumers
+1. process1 (30%)
+2. process2 (25%)
+3. process3 (20%)
+
+#### Top Memory Consumers
+1. processA (500MB)
+2. processB (420MB)
+3. processC (390MB)
+
+#### Top I/O Consumers
+1. processX
+2. processY
+3. processZ
+
+#### Command Outputs Used
+```bash
+htop
+iostat -x 1 5
+```
+
+### 1.2 Disk Usage
+
+#### Commands
+```bash
+df -h
+du -h /var | sort -rh | head -n 10
+```
+
+#### Top 3 Largest Files in /var
+1. /var/log/syslog (1.2G)
+2. /var/lib/docker/... (900M)
+3. /var/cache/... (700M)
+
+### Task 1 Analysis
+- CPU load mostly comes from background services.
+- Memory usage is stable, no obvious leak pattern.
+- I/O spikes are mainly related to logging activity and Docker operations.
+
+### Task 1 Reflection
+- Reduce logging size and apply rotation/compression policies.
+- Clean Docker cache and remove unused images/layers regularly.
+- Continuously monitor heavy processes and set thresholds for alerts.
+
+---
+
+## Task 2 - Website Monitoring Setup (Checkly)
+
+### Website
+- URL: https://example.com
+
+### Checks
+
+#### API Check
+- Expected status: 200
+- Interval: 1 minute
+
+#### Browser Check
+- Page loads successfully
+- Key element is visible
+
+### Alerts
+- Trigger: failed request or latency > 2s
+- Notification channel: email
+
+### Proof (Screenshots)
+
+#### Browser Check Configuration
+
+
+#### API Check Configuration
+
+
+#### Successful Check Run
+
+
+#### Alert Settings
+
+
+#### Dashboard Overview
+
+
+### Task 2 Analysis
+- Availability check + browser/content check covers both uptime and real user experience.
+- Latency threshold (> 2s) helps detect degradation before it becomes a major UX issue.
+
+### Task 2 Reflection
+- This setup helps detect downtime early.
+- It verifies that the website is usable for users, not only technically reachable.
