medium📝 Analysis Q4 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand alert triggering on threshold crossing
Alerts trigger each time the condition is met; rapid fluctuations cause repeated triggers.Step 2: Analyze effect of rapid crossing of threshold
Memory usage crossing above 70% repeatedly causes multiple alerts, leading to alert fatigue.Final Answer:
Multiple alerts may be sent repeatedly causing alert fatigue -> Option AQuick Check:
Rapid threshold crossing = Multiple alerts [OK]
Quick Trick: Rapid threshold crossing causes repeated alerts [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Assuming only one alert is sent
- Thinking alerts require stable high usage
- Ignoring alert fatigue issues
