The Place Where Modern Operations & Technology Come Together
Alerts Should Work for You, Not the Other Way Around
The entire reason we have monitoring is to understand what users are experiencing with an application. Full stop. If the user experience is impacted, sound the alarm and get people out of bed if necessary. All the other telemetry can be used to understand the details of the impact. But lower-level data points no longer have to be the trigger point for alerts.
Alerts Don't Suck: YOUR Alerts Suck!
Join Leon Adato, Kentik's Principal Technical Evangelist, for, "Alerts Don't Suck: YOUR Alerts Suck." In this engaging talk, Leon shares a personal anecdote about generating a staggering 772 tickets - twice - in just 15 minutes, setting the stage for an enlightening exploration of alert management. Leon discusses the common misconceptions and pitfalls of alerts in network observability, distinguishing between effective and ineffective alert strategies. He demystifies the concepts of monitoring versus observability, offering practical advice on creating alerts that genuinely add value and drive action. Whether you're an IT professional, network engineer, or anyone interested in improving your alerting philosophy, this talk is packed with actionable insights, humor, and real-world examples. Leon's hard-won advice might just transform your approach to alerting and optimizing your monitoring systems.
Digging into the Optus Outage
Last week a major internet outage took out one of Australia’s biggest telecoms. In a statement out yesterday, Optus blames the hours-long outage, which left millions of Aussies without telephone and internet, on a route leak from a sibling company. In this post, we discuss the outage and how it compares to the historic outage suffered by Canadian telecom Rogers in July 2022.
