Understood and agreed. My point was that induced failure testing isn't the right way to catch incorrect or unauthorized config changes, which is what I understood the original poster to have said was his problem. My apologies if I misunderstood what he was asking.
So while your analogy emphasizes the importance of having good processes in place to catch the problems up front, it doesn't eliminate throwing the switch.
Yup, and it's precisely why I suggested using planned maintenance events as one way of doing at least limited failure testing. --Jeff
