How do you avoid alert fatigue in ML monitoring?

medium

Answer

$(1) Prioritize: only alert on things needing immediate action; log others to dashboard.$
$(2) Escalation: warnings \to email; errors \to Slack; critical \to page.$
$(3) Deduplication: don't fire same alert twice in N minutes.$
$(4) Correlate: parent alert suppresses child (drift + accuracy drop \to single alert).$
$(5) Runbook per alert: what to do.$
$(6) Weekly review: alerts fired vs actioned; delete useless ones.$
$(7) Sensitivity tuning: minimize FP.$
$Rule: if alert can't be actioned, it shouldn't fire.$
