Four ways it stays quiet
- Grouping. 400 identical errors are one problem.
- Baselines. An error rate that is normal for your app is logged, not sent.
- Levels. Most problems are tell (one message, after quiet hours) or log (weekly email only).
- One escalation per problem. A problem never pages twice in parallel.
And the one way it never does
Floors: app silent, crash loop, 5xx burst, payments failing. They always wake someone, and a failed or unsure decision is never quieter than tell.
