A startup called BigPanda says it talked to more than 1,700 IT professionals in such industries as telecom, finance and health care and discovered that many are being driven demented.

It says its service detects real issues faster by "automatically correlating noisy alerts from fragmented monitoring tools into high level incidents."

Well, OpsGenie says it provides "the tools you need to design meaningful, actionable alerts and ensure the right people are notified." Pagerduty says it allows IT managers to "automatically centralize, group, and enrich all events in a single hub. Suppress irrelevant alerts and reduce alert noise."

Or you could just set up your monitoring correctly. If you cannot do that, you should not work in IT.
