For infrastructure I control, or for 3rd party services we just wait for to come back up?  For the former, nagios.

Datadog for our service, for 3rd party we look at their status pages :joy:, we also got a slack bot setup that monitors their feeds

is that noisy?  so many services have like 50 different statuses, only 2 are relevant to use generally

Pros of DD: it does all the things, Cons: It does all the things, is getting bloated and is expensive :joy:

Im starting to become more a fan of modular tools than can plug into healthy ecosystems ie: grafana/prometheus instead of trying to do all the things itself

Been using 3rd parties such as datadog, sentry and uptimerobot .
Pros: very straight forward
cons: costyy
