Consider: Business impact over alert count

Standard Behavior: One alert, one problem area
Exceptions: 
  - Different policy types (Problem Area vs Correlation)
  - Different scopes (Infrastructure vs Business Service)
  - Hierarchical relationships (Component vs System level)

Critical Systems: 1-5 minutes
Standard Systems: 5-15 minutes
Batch Systems: 15-60 minutes
Factors: Alert volume, processing speed, business impact

Problem Area:
  - Groups related alerts into single problem
  - Reduces noise and provides focus
  - Emphasizes operational workflow
  
Alert Correlation:
  - Identifies relationships between alerts
  - Maintains individual alerts
  - Emphasizes analysis and root cause

Approach:
  - Standardize resource naming conventions
  - Map tool-specific attributes to common schema
  - Use multiple correlation methods
  - Implement tool-specific rules when needed

Recommended:
  - Group by business service or resource relationship
  - Use severity for prioritization within groups
  - Allow severity escalation based on group characteristics
  
Avoid:
  - Grouping only by severity level
  - Ignoring business context
