How do I reduce alert fatigue?

Last updated 5 July 2026

Alert only on things a human must act on, and make each alert trustworthy. Use confirmation thresholds so a single failed check never pages, multi-region checks so one network blip does not open an incident, and severity routing so low-priority issues do not wake anyone. Every false page teaches the team to ignore the next one, so the fix is fewer, better alerts, not more.
