Sensory Friendly Monitoring: Keeping the Noise Down

on YouTube ↗19m

" summary

Monitoring noise creates real cognitive and operational costs: studies show 25 minutes to reset after minor interruptions, AP-style scores drop about half a point and a 300-person Michigan State trial triples completion time. Practical actions include categorizing alerts (notably false positives and false negatives and flapping systems), routing pages to the correct on-call, embedding runbook links in notifications, adding minimal redundancy beyond Slack, and running regular sprint cleaning postmortems that ask: was the alert needed, automated, and permanently resolved.
