Effective monitoring stands and falls with its accuracy. You want to be alerted-and, if it comes to it, woken up in the middle of the night-only when there's a real issue. However, the reality is that false positives can occur for various reasons. A check might be affected by a harmless glitch in the network connection between Checkly and your check target, causing your site to be flagged as slow or unreachable, when, in fact, it is running perfectly fine.
