Metrics Alerts and Detectors

Question

An SRE creates a new detector to receive an alert when server latency is higher than 260 milliseconds. Latency below 260 milliseconds is healthy for their service. The SRE creates a New Detector with a Custom Metrics Alert Rule for latency and sets a Static Threshold alert condition at 260ms. How can the number of alerts be reduced?

Options

  • AAdjust the threshold.
  • BAdjust the Trigger sensitivity. Duration set to 1 minute.
  • CAdjust the notification sensitivity. Duration set to 1 minute.
  • DChoose another signal.

Explanation

According to the Splunk O11y Cloud Certified Metrics User Track document, trigger sensitivity is a setting that determines how long a signal must remain above or below a threshold before an alert is triggered. By default, trigger sensitivity is set to Immediate, which means that an alert is triggered as soon as the signal crosses the threshold. This can result in a lot of alerts, especially if the signal fluctuates frequently around the threshold value. To reduce the number of alerts, you can adjust the trigger sensitivity to a longer duration, such as 1 minute, 5 minutes, or 15 minutes. This means that an alert is only triggered if the signal stays above or below the threshold for the specified duration. This can help filter out noise and focus on more persistent issues.
