Alert Cleanup and Sanity PassNeil Hanlon
Your alerts shouldn’t be ignored—they should be useful. I’ll clean up your alerting system so your team only hears about real issues, not background noise.
What's included
Alert Rule Audit
I’ll review your current alerting setup (Prometheus, CloudWatch, Datadog, etc.) and identify noisy, duplicate, or broken rules.
Cleaned-Up Alerts
Alerts rewritten with proper severity levels, runbook links, and actionable messages.
Rate-Limiting Logic
Implementation of dead-man’s switch alerts and rate-limiting to reduce pager fatigue.
Final Handoff
Includes updated alert descriptions, optional playbooks, and a walkthrough of your cleaned-up setup.
FAQs
Prometheus/Alertmanager, Datadog, CloudWatch, Grafana Alerts, and anything YAML-based or API-driven.
Only if you want it to—I can stage changes, work from copies, or pair on live changes depending on your comfort level.
No, but I’ll encourage you to start. I can write alert descriptions that guide responders even without formal docs.
Yes—but that’s a separate service. Happy to bundle if you're doing a broader observability overhaul.
