Problem

How do you approach monitoring and alerting for a distributed application?

Explain how you would select signals, define service-level objectives, set actionable thresholds, reduce alert fatigue, and preserve enough security context for incident response. Cover dependencies, partial failures, telemetry loss, and how you would verify that alerts work.
