Rely on AppDynamics alerts but consider no alerting system is immune from failure itself. Just like how a power outage could prevent an alarm clock from alerting you at the expected set time, issues can lead to alert failures if say for example, there is a misconfiguration during the setup or perhaps if an endpoint or gateway communication goes offline.

Being able to rely on alerts is necessary, expecting one when a system is experiencing a health-related issue, however, we must prepare that there could be a failed HTTP request, that you must rely on that would notify you of an issue.

In this Tip of the Month, we show you how to ensure HTTP notification delivery.

This requires having the AppDynamics SaaS controller version released in April 2023 (23.4.x).
