Alert Fatigue: Avoidance and Course Correction at Sensu Summit 2018

Sep 6, 2018

In this talk from Doximity's Ben Abrams (from Sensu Summit 2018), you'll learn:

  • Why alert fatigue is dangerous
  • How we can solve it
  • Sensu core components
  • Filters
  • Round robin subscriptions
  • Check dependencies
  • Check hooks (not strictly alert fatigue but auto triage can really help in general)
  • Sensu community components
  • Auto remediation: use the handler not hooks
  • External tools for on call management and paging (such as pagerduty)
  • General tuning
  • Reduction in noise in alerting (as opposed to monitoring)
