## Standard set of alarms

| Stat | Threshold | Time to Alarm | Urgency | Metric |
| ---- | --------- | ------------- | ------- | ------ |
| Failed | Based on volume | 5m | High | ExecutionsFailed |
| Failed | 1 | 5m | Low | ExecutionsFailed |
| Throttled | Based on volume | 5m | High | ExecutionsThrottled |
| Throttled | 1 | 5m | Low | ExecutionsThrottled |
| Time out | Based on volume | 5m | High | ExecutionsTimedOut |
| Time out | 1 | 5m | Low | ExecutionsTimedOut |

Could the alarms based on volume be improved to be based on % error rate instead?
