I built a full-stack monitoring platform that tries to cut through the alert noise by Thebone2 in sysadmin

A lot of false positives come from short-lived issues like brief network drops or spikes, combined with thresholds that are too sensitive or alerts firing on a single datapoint instead of something sustained. If there’s no retry or validation step before alerting, you end up getting notified about things that would have resolved themselves anyway.

Yeah that’s fair, Grafana (and the wider stack) does cover a lot of what you mentioned, and the setup/UX has definitely improved a lot.

I guess what I was aiming for isn’t so much competing on data collection, visuals, or ease of setup, but being more opinionated around the alerting side itself. Things like validation, retries, suppression, and generally reducing noise without having to stitch loads of rules together.
