I get your sentiment, but theres another side of this coin that everyone is forgetting, hilariously.
You can tune your monitoring!
Noisy alert that tends to be a false positive but not always? Tune alert message to only send if the issue continues for more than a minute, or if the check fails 3 times in a row. Theres hundreds of ways to tweak a monitor to match your environment.
Best of all? It takes 30 seconds at most. Find the trigger, adjust slightly, and after maybe 1-2 tries, youll be getting 1 false positive sometimes, and actual alerts when they happen, compared to 99% false alerts, all the time.
Oh and did you know any monitoring solution worth its salt can execute things automatically on alerts, and then can alert you if that thing fails?
