Best Practices

  1. Start conservative – Set thresholds that won’t trigger too often
  2. Use multiple channels – Critical alerts should reach you multiple ways
  3. Review regularly – Adjust thresholds as your traffic patterns change
  4. Document responses – Create runbooks for common alert scenarios
  5. Avoid alert fatigue – Too many alerts means important ones get ignored
