• Verifies that thresholds match the project’s Non-Functional Requirements.

2. Notification Audit

• Ensures that every alarm has a defined and valid notification destination (SNS, Slack, PagerDuty).
• Validates that high-severity alerts follow PagerDuty Best Practices (e.g., automated escalation, actionable context).

Usage

• “Audit our current Terraform files for monitoring compliance.”
• “Are we missing any critical alerts for this new microservice deployment?”
