Better alarm on dead letter queue depth
There is an alarm when the dead letter queue's number of visible messages is greater than 0. This means you should get an email notification when the number increases from 0 --> 1.
It also means you should not get an alarm when that number increases from 1 --> 2, or any time after the initial failure. Perhaps we should write code in watchbot to manually trip the alarm and send an email every time a message goes to dead letter?
