# Alert deduplication

> Treat alert bursts as a single event, not a flood

When something breaks in production, you rarely get just one alert. A single root cause can trigger dozens of related alerts across services, regions, and monitoring tools. Wild Moose recognizes these bursts and treats them as a single global event.

## Why deduplication matters

Without deduplication, each alert in a burst would trigger its own investigation - hammering your observability APIs with redundant queries and flooding your channels with duplicate findings. Wild Moose avoids this by:

* **Grouping related alerts** into a single event
* **Running one coordinated investigation** instead of many redundant ones
* **Producing a unified analysis** that considers all the related signals together
