I use the something like the following to ensure that my sysadmins get bugged 
every time something fails. I ran into a problem where something failed 
consistently, but only alerted once so it got lost in the ether...

alerts:
    # Bad configs, error out
    bad_configs::
        "Config error [$(date)]: Bad thingy, update aborted."
