"The lack of proper monitor is never the sole cause of a problem, but it’s often a serious contributing factor."
I am continuously amazed that downtime issues go undetected until a) customer notifies you b) things go downhill and alarms are blazing. Our central principle is that monitoring and alerting has to be part of your deployment. The way we apply at my work place is that every design doc has a monitoring section which has to be filled out.
