anyone know a good resource that concisely explains characteristics of good monitoring/alerting setups for devops/sysadmins? e.g. clear, actionable messages with contextual info, in as few locations/channels as reasonable, high SNR, etc?

i feel like i've read on this topic before but nothing i can find or recall specifically rn, and i think my target audience needs a better writer than me, and/or an appeal to authority, to get the message

Do you work with #voice and #voicedata, such as #data used for #ASR & #TTS tools? This might be collecting, cleaning, parsing data, or using data to train and evaluate #ML models 💻 🎤 📈

As part of my #PhD at ANU (not on fediverse), I'm doing some exploratory interviews to help shape a survey. The survey and interviews will help us understand #ML practice in voice, and create tools to help make voice tech fairer for everyone.
