Alerting tips and best practices

We can group our recommended best practices under four main categories.

Addressing common alert challenges

Let’s explore some common challenges faced when dealing with alerts and their ecosystem, particularly the journey from noise to valuable information:

• Observability stack integration with SoT: To counter the challenges presented by alert fatigue, noise, and the dynamic nature of modern IT environments, integrating an observability stack with a reliable SoT is key. This approach aims to streamline the alerting process by providing a clearer, more accurate depiction of the IT landscape.
• Normalization through observability data pipeline: We’re focusing on normalizing data across various sources. This means that regardless of where the data comes from, our observability data pipeline works to standardize it, ensuring consistency and reliability in the alerts generated.
• Query-driven alerting: By enabling precise queries...
