Alerts sit at the heart of a well designed monitoring system, an essential aspect of preventing downtime. But managing them can be one of the more time intensive parts of your day.

How much time have you spent muting non-critical alerts - or filtering them out of your inbox entirely - trusting that you’ll be notified by your manager when something truly requires your attention? Or how many times have you been woken up by an SMS alert for an issue that isn’t truly critical?

By implementing an effective monitoring and alerting strategy, you can avoid these scenarios, freeing up time in your day.

Download this guide for alerting best practices to ensure three related outcomes:

  • Monitoring is in place to catch critical conditions and alert the right people
  • Noise is reduced and you or your team are not needlessly distracted
  • Time spent on alerts is reduced, creating more time for you to focus on proactive monitoring.
