To combat this, organizations should adopt a continuous improvement methodology by regularly reviewing and updating their monitoring strategies to minimize unnecessary alerts. Key strategies include identifying noisy alerts, specifically predictable and flappy alerts, and implementing team-level adjustments such as increasing evaluation windows, adding recovery thresholds, consolidating alerts, leveraging conditional variables, and scheduling downtimes.
