Enter alerting conditions

Threshold-based alerts –

  • Select the metric name

  • Threshold value

  • Enter the time frame you want the metric value to be monitored.

Note: this field is not the frequency at which alerts are triggered. This defines the time frame in which the algorithm checks for a threshold breach. The frame is reset at the end time, or when the threshold is breached.

Avoid spam

You can avoid spam by adding maximum notification frequency.

  • Maximum alerts: Enter the number of alerts, e.g. 100

  • Duration: Select the duration in the dropdown options

Note: If the frequency is reached, there will be no more alerts till the time resets. You can miss out on alert-worthy trend shifts in such a case. Please fill in the details with caution.
