Infrastructure monitoring should prioritize actionable alerts over dashboards. Avoid alert fatigue by starting with failure conditions, not existing metrics. Adopt a zero-tolerance policy for false alarms, ensuring every alert requires human intervention. Treat alerts as living code, iteratively refining them through weekly reviews and continuous improvements to build a system you can trust.
