Alert-Driven Monitoring

Alert-driven monitoring argues that alerts are the core output of infrastructure monitoring, guiding thresholds from service behavior rather than dashboards. It cautions against starting from metrics because that can produce noisy alerts, and it prescribes a zero-tolerance policy for false alarms along with a process of continual improvement, including weekly reviews, pruning, and root-cause analysis to strengthen alerting over time. The goal is to make alerts actionable, reduce alert fatigue, and improve early failure detection.
