Multi-KPI Alerts
Multi-KPI Alerts create compound conditions that only fire when multiple KPIs breach simultaneously. For example, alert only when "Response Time > 5s" AND "Error Rate > 10%" are both true at the same time.
This prevents false positives from isolated spikes. A brief CPU spike that self-resolves should not page an on-call engineer. Multi-KPI alerts ensure incidents are only escalated with corroborating evidence.
Combine time conditions: "only alert if CPU > 90% AND Memory > 85% for at least 5 consecutive minutes."
