In the best-case scenario, an alert is received because something went (or is about to go) wrong. In those cases, recipients can at least be grateful they found out before things worsened. Far more often, however, people hate getting alerts for the exact opposite reason: They are meaningless, trivial, or just plain wrong—a source of constant interruptions, false alarms, unplanned work, and "noise." While many are convinced that this is the inherent nature of alerts (and monitoring in general), it can be so much better... *WATCH NOW <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNMwvX4aoic>* *Early Bird Gets the Worm* *Take Advantage of Discounted Registration Prices + Access to Hotel Info* Early registration prices will end on 08, April.
