Start out on the visualisation docs.

Expand overview, remove federation as a feature we don't have that yet.

Switch example variable to follow naming scheme.

Anyone set something like that up? That would be a great addition to the docs.

Not that I'm aware of. Once one of us does it we should certainly contribute it back.

Comma after "For example" (http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/132359/any-exception-with-commas-before-and-after-for-example).

I think for now should spell them "push gateway" and "alert manager" (My feeling is that if we're using these like descriptive words in normal English, they should be spelled as two words and lower-case.), though I don't feel strongly at all about that. Main thing is that we standardize and make things consistent.

We're referring to our particular Alertmanager and PushGateway implementations, thus I think they're proper nouns and get capitals.

Beside the minor notes, really great documentations! Very useful and well written. 👍

There are some extra words here: "in an during an outage"

Sorry, this is just the first iteration of comments. I simply don't have a lot of free-wheeling computer time at Congress... will try to get back to it ASAP.

I feel like there's too much "you want", "you should", etc. in this style.

Taking out the "you" in this concrete example could be done like: "Typically it makes sense to alert...".

Alternatives in other places could be to simply omit the "you should" sometimes and just leave it at the imperative form. E.g. below: "Only page on latency..."
