Alerting

Combating IT Alert Fatigue

With the growing complexity of IT systems, managing alerts and notifications without succumbing to the crippling effects of alert fatigue has never been more challenging. Alert Fatigue occurs when the volume of notifications makes it impossible to discern signal from noise, desensitizing the recipient to warnings, some of which end up representing critical issues.

Finally: alerting and on-call scheduling for how you actually work

TL;DR You deserve a better alerting and on-call tool. So we built Signals. In our early days, we often used the tagline, “You just got paged. Now what?” It encapsulated how FireHydrant solved for all of the messy bits that come after your alert is fired, from incident declaration all the way through to retrospective. At the time, we saw alerting and on-call scheduling as a solved problem.

Joe's Triumph with an Alert Fatigue Solution

In the fast-paced world of operations management, every alert bears weight, and Joe’s team found themselves caught in a relentless stream of notifications. The challenge they faced was alert fatigue – a persistent obstacle that blurred the lines between critical incidents and routine matters. As the head of operations, Joe navigated through this influx of alerts, ranging from urgent server issues demanding immediate attention to routine notifications like a failed login.

What is alert fatigue?

Alert fatigue is a serious issue that affects numerous professions, e.g. in IT or healthcare. It can lead to neglecting critical events and delaying response times. Responders need to continuously monitor their systems and applications to avert possible downtime and keep operations running smoothly. However a high number of incoming alerts inundating these teams can make them less responsive. The ramifications of such disregard can severely affect the efficiency and dependability of response teams.

Application Migration: 5 Things that Can Go Wrong

Application migration is the process of moving an application from one environment to another.

The aim is typically to improve the flexibility, scalability, and cost-effectiveness of the application. Application migration is a complex process that requires careful planning and execution.
