Summary

Setting Up Actionable Alerts and Procedures in MMS`, a blog post by Alex Giamas, discusses the importance of having clear procedures for acting upon metrics in a monitoring system, such as MMS. It highlights that viewing metrics alone is not enough, but rather having procedures in place to address issues promptly. The author emphasizes the need for sensible alert thresholds, which should be set high enough to trigger action without being too sensitive and causing desensitization. The post also touches on the usefulness of MMS's web view of logs and profile data for troubleshooting, and will cover how to use MMS to QA new code in a future post.
