DPI Measurement And Reporting Practice Question
A telecommunications provider uses automated telemetry in Prometheus to monitor network latency. During peak hours, minor latency spikes trigger thousands of automated alert emails to engineers. Over time, engineers begin ignoring the alerts. How should the reporting and monitoring framework be adjusted?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Refine alert thresholds and implement intelligent event correlation to ensure only actionable, high-value alerts reach engineers.
Alert fatigue occurs when too many low-value alerts are generated, desensitizing staff. Thresholds and alert routing must be refined to highlight actionable anomalies.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Refine alert thresholds and implement intelligent event correlation to ensure only actionable, high-value alerts reach engineers.
Why this is correct
Refining thresholds and correlating events reduces alert fatigue and ensures focus on critical issues.
- ✗
Increase the frequency of email alert broadcasts from hourly to minutely.
Why it's wrong here
This exacerbates alert fatigue.
- ✗
Disable all automated monitoring alerts in Prometheus to reduce noise.
Why it's wrong here
Disabling monitoring leaves the network blind to actual outages.
- ✗
Migrate all monitoring data from Prometheus to Jira Service Management.
Why it's wrong here
Jira is an ITSM tool, not a time-series network monitoring tool.
