Roughly 70% of them were sub-60-second flaps</strong> — transients that a single TCP probe shouldn&rsquo;t page the on-call for. The on-call had learned to swipe the alert away.</p> <p>The noise problem was one thing. Worse: the alert told the on-call to run <code>docker compose up -d</code>. That command doesn&rsquo;t even apply anymore. Scorecardecho runs on the VPS now — systemd services, Caddy routing, GitHub Actions deploys. The monitor was both flapping AND wrong.</p>
