Sure: It's easy to have no false alarms; just
turn off the detector! It's easy to have no
missed detections of real problems; just sound
the alarm all the time.
Then it's easy to have whatever false alarm rate
want; just 'interpolate' between these two detectors.
Such detectors are known as 'trivial' with good
justification.
If some monitoring software claims a low false
alarm rate, then, sure, that's easy to get --
just use a trivial detector!
And for being useful, if have two detectors
that actually are good and want to 'interpolate'
between them, then a trivial detector can do that
and be 'useful'.
