Monitoring and reference writer
Rosalind Petrie
Rosalind Petrie spent six years on a support team reading other people's log files for a living, which is how she became the person who can tell a syslog line from a JSON log line at a glance. She writes the reference material and most of the monitoring and backup guides, and she keeps a running list of every log format she has had to parse by hand so nobody else has to guess at the fields. She tests every backup guide by actually restoring from it before she publishes it, not just by running the backup step.
