The point made here about the Average user experience is super super important. It’s good to know what that is for several reasons. Mainly performance tuning. But when it comes to trying to prevent disasters the middle isn’t useful.

Another thing to add. This came to me recently. There are two kinds of graphs and dashboards, those for technical folks and those for managers and non-technical folks. You want to develop both or one with variables to then simplify the graphs/dashboard. Annotations and good titles IMHO are good. Some folks prefer to have technical graph titles. I get the draw but I have to deal with multiple leads, C levels, project managers, and managers that don’t care about the technical stat just where it is compared to where it should be

Thanks for the reply. Do you know of any Fediverse community for people into things like monitoring, paging, alerts and occasional sleepless nights?

NP.

I haven’t looked really. There is a DevOps community I think. Haven’t seen any SRE (site reliability engineer) or monitoring communities, One will probably pop up sooner than later.
