University of Toronto ☛ Flaky alerts are telling you something
To put it one way, flaky monitoring system alerts are like flaky tests in programming. Each of these is telling you that your understanding of things is incorrect or that something odd and unusual is going on, and sometimes both. This comes about because you don't generally create either alerts or tests intending them to be flaky; you intend for them to work (or sometimes for tests, to reliably fail before you fix things). If the result of your work is flaky, either you didn't correctly understand how your system (or your code) behaves when you did your work, such that you aren't actually testing what you think you're testing, or there is something going on that genuinely causes unexpected sporadic failures.

Data Swamp ☛ Improve your SSH agent security
If you are using SSH quite often, it is likely you use an SSH agent which stores your private key in memory so you do not have to type your password every time.
This method is convenient, but it comes at the expense of your SSH key use security, anyone able to use your session while the agent holds the key unlocked can use your SSH key. This scenario is most likely to happen when using a compromised build script.
However, it is possible to harden this process at a small expense of convenience, make your SSH agent ask for confirmation every time the key has to be used.
