Efficient Alerting

Another reason for consolidating your monitoring data is alerting. You can’t watch everything all the time. You’d like to feed monitoring data into a system that can baseline what “normal” is and let you know when something varies.

Sometimes the first clue that there’s a problem is a drop in sales—indeed, anecdotal evidence suggests that sales per minute is one of the key metrics huge online retailers like Amazon look at to determine whether something’s wrong (though none of them would confirm this for us).

Complete web monitoring implies complete web alerting, bringing all of the problems detected by all of your monitoring tools into a single, central place where you can analyze and escalate them appropriately.
