Performance and DevOps pros can sometimes get tunnel vision with regard to their day-to-day objectives by focusing on alerts and ignoring other relevant performance metrics. In this talk, Tom Gerhard of Priceline will demonstrate why it’s important to measure things above and beyond those that have alerts tied to them. By establishing baselines and providing context for your digital infrastructure, you can:
- Better understand the alerts that you receive
- Discover unexpected problems
- Drive changes in your infrastructure
- Keep vendors accountable
