Using "Golden Signals" to Filter Alert Fatigue

I’m getting 200 alerts a night, and 190 of them are noise. I’m exhausted.

That sounds brutal, and honestly, it’s a sign your alerting strategy needs serious tuning. When 95% of alerts are noise, people start ignoring them—and that’s when real incidents get missed. The goal isn’t more alerts, it’s better alerts. Focus on actionable signals tied to real user impact, not every minor fluctuation.

This is where observability and business/process automation help a lot—correlating events, deduplicating alerts, and prioritizing what actually matters. As discussed here: https://devops.com/when-customer-facing-systems-fail-how-incident-response-and-observability-reduce-mttr/ reducing noise is essential for faster response. A quieter system means a sharper, more effective team.
