I agree with focusing on actionable alerts during on-call hours. You might be able to have some kind of scheduled change in sensitivity.

One thing I've wondered in the past year is whether fuzzy logic would be useful. Your example is a really good case of linguistic variables -- "lightly loaded", "a long time", "normal temperature" and so on. These can be assembled into rules or tables that should fire more sensibly than exact threshold values.
