I Replaced My Alert Thresholds With a Forecasting Model
Every alert config has "page me if CPU is above 90 percent" rules that fire during normal peaks and stay silent during real anomalies at quiet hours. This post makes the case for swapping them for forecast-based alerting, made practical by Mistral's new Timestral time-series foundation models, which forecast zero-shot on a CPU with quantile output and schedule-aware covariates.
