What generally happens with newly detected anomalous events in an environment?

Newly detected anomalous events in an environment may not lead to immediate alerts because monitoring systems, such as those used in Dynatrace, often have sophisticated algorithms that assess the severity and context of an anomaly before generating an alert. This allows for a more measured approach to alerting, where only significant or impactful anomalies prompt notifications.

The rationale behind this is to reduce alert fatigue, which can occur when systems generate numerous alerts, many of which may turn out to be false positives or of low importance. By analyzing the anomalies and their potential impact on services and business outcomes, systems can prioritize which events truly warrant immediate attention and alerting.

This approach helps maintain the effectiveness of monitoring and ensures that responders can focus on the most critical incidents, rather than being overwhelmed by alerts for every detected anomaly, especially those that may not indicate a serious issue.
