Alert fatigue

When responders receive so many alerts, many not actionable, that they start ignoring or muting them and miss the ones that matter.

In Pagerless

Grouping, baselines and three levels (wake, tell, log) keep pages rare; four floors always wake.

Paging
Interrupting a person to demand attention now, usually by push notification, phone call or SMS, named after the pagers on-call engineers once carried.
Alert grouping
Combining many related signals, such as the same error repeated, into one problem so a responder sees it once.
Alert noise
Alerts that don't need anyone to act: duplicates, known background errors, bots probing dead URLs, flapping checks.
