Cyclomatic Complexity is why your Operating System can't do this for you. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclomatic_complexity There are so many different paths for an error case to follow. You can of course debug this by reducing the complexity - for example, by watching one of the links in the chain (say, DNS) and seeing if it is failing - but this is the realm of network engineers who get paid mightily to get through this cyclomatic complexity and work at the relevant layers, all the way down to the atoms in the pipe .. >If some link on the path breaks, why doesn’t the last good link send a message backward that says “Your message made it to me, but I tried to send it the next step and it failed there.” In fact, the links all do this, but there is simply no provision in your OS - no fancy GUI, perhaps - that allows you to fully understand this without getting overwhelmed by the cyclomatic complexity. Tools exist, and once you learn to use them to tame the complexity - congrats, you're now worth $300k/yr and can go work in San Francisco .. /s ;) |
