Most important tool is treeherder (https://treeherder.mozilla.org) here we monitor the trees and mark (we call it “star”) test and build failures. While “learning by doing” is the most effective thing, for reading we have created https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/How:To:TBPL

The Sheriffs How-To

A lot of knowledge about Sheriffing comes from the day-to-day work and you will learn new things and maybe create your own workflow that is maybe better than any current. To share the knowledge about Sheriffing and make it a little easier for people to onboard, we have created the Sheriffs How-To here: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Sheriffing/How:To with a section about various topics. You are also invited to share/create/ new topics or maybe update “old” one with your experience.

Communication

Sheriffs hang out in the #sheriffs channel on irc - also its useful to be in the following Channels

-> #developers - most of the developers are around here -> #buildduty - our counterparts of the build system “sheriffs” -> #releng - general Release Engineering Channel -> #taskcluster - taskcluster team channel
