Why Alert Fatigue is a Major Challenge in Observability (2025 Survey Insights) | Grafana Labs

Aug 19, 2025

Over 1,200 engineers, leaders, and teams shared their biggest observability challenges in our third annual Observability Survey — and the results are in.

In this video, Marc Chipouras (Head of Emerging Products, Grafana Labs) breaks down the top insights:

  • Alert fatigue: 33% said it’s their #1 obstacle in incident response
  • SLO adoption: 24% already in production, 50% exploring POCs
  • AI/ML in observability: leaders vs. engineers see value differently
  • FinOps and cost attribution: why transparency is critical for scaling
