Why your server monitoring is creating alert fatigue (and how to fix it)

Alert fatigue is not a discipline problem — it is a signal design problem. Mute the noise:

• Page on symptoms customers feel (checkout 502, queue age), not every CPU > 70%
• Auto-repair safe failures (stuck workers, full tmp) before opening incidents
• Attach deploy markers so on-call knows if they are debugging today's release
