Tailor Alert Thresholds with New Relic’s Alert Policies

New Relic is hosting its first user conference, FutureStack, where they are introducing new mobile and social analytics, along with app monitoring features. A significant highlight for both New Relic and PagerDuty customers is the launch of Alert Policies, which enhances alert notifications by enabling users to set thresholds, share alert conditions across various platforms, and direct alerts to the appropriate individuals or teams. This new feature helps reduce unnecessary alerts and allows customers to focus on critical notifications by configuring Notification Channels and creating specific notification groups. New Relic customers can integrate PagerDuty as an alert channel, leveraging its customizable on-call scheduling and escalation policies to ensure timely and relevant responses. The integration guide provides details on setting up PagerDuty as an alert channel, and feedback from users on the new Alert Policies is encouraged.
