Please don't alert based on percentages
- btilly 16y agoI agree that there are lots of issues with alerting based on percentages. However there are lots of cases where you really do want percentage based alerts. For instance alerting on a random page load being slow is not a good idea. However if more than 30% of your page loads are below some threshold, then you may want to alert. And you absolutely want this to be a percentage based alert, because with absolute numbers you get to choose between never hearing about problems at low traffic times and alerting on every traffic spike.
