summary

Explains that unchecked monitoring floods teams (often 50–100 alerts per day), causing missed incidents, slower response, burnout and even failed IT projects; demonstrates practical fixes used with SolarWinds: make every notification actionable, tier alerts by severity and route only critical incidents to on‑call, and reduce alert storms via dependency relationships and intelligent, environment‑specific baselines instead of default thresholds; claims these changes cut noise and restore proactive operations when implemented and reviewed continuously.
