At Sensu Summit 2019, Adam Westman, Sr. Engineering Manager at Target, introduced us to GoAlert, their on-call scheduling and notification open source project. In this post, I’ll recap his talk, sharing the journey that led them to build GoAlert, the problems they’ve solved, and how they use GoAlert with Sensu Go to simplify monitoring and reduce alert fatigue.
At Sentry, we’re big fans of continuous integration and deployment. We’re also big fans of GitHub — and not just because we employ a number of notable GitHub alumni.

Each team has certain responsibilities and is constantly searching for tools that can address specific requirements in the best possible way.
In recent months, the major cloud and tech players have been unfurling their latest products and strategies to win enterprise dollars. One trend that’s catching fire is hybrid infrastructure management: the need to support a mix of on-premises, private cloud, and public cloud resources.
Systemd is an initialization program that manages processes on Linux systems. It was designed to improve the performance of its predecessors by creating a dependency tree of system components, initializing them only when needed, and using as much parallelization as possible. With systemd becoming ubiquitous in Linux distributions, it’s crucial that you monitor the health and performance of both systemd and the components that it manages.
