Re: How to Avoid "Monitoring Spam"

Good stuff.  For me, I actually find the "out of the box" defaults way too overbearing and tone it down even before deployment.  I can, however, see your point in letting it all go to get a sense of...

Re: How to Avoid "Monitoring Spam"

Not a bad strategy at all: moving the alerts out of "IT" at the macro level and compartmentalizing.  Do you do that to the level where folks outside of IT (say, the financial controller) get alerts?...

Re: How to Avoid "Monitoring Spam"
