How to Keep a Production Change Log Useful During an Incident

A change log helps incident responders only when it is searchable, time-aligned, and tied to affected services.

Checks to make

Record deploy and configuration times, service owner, change reference, affected components, and rollback state. Synchronize clocks and make the log available during outages. Avoid logging secrets or relying only on chat history.
