Service metric monitoring rules can now gauge the average of recently posted values
Until now, service metric monitoring rule thresholds were without exception gauged in relation only to the most recently posted value. This has now been changed so that it is also possible to configure service metric monitoring rules to take into account the average of recently posted values, preventing unnecessary alerts resulting from sudden spikes and improving the overall stability of monitoring.
- It’s possible to configure monitoring rules to use the average of up to 5 recently posted values.
- Data used for average calculation can only be retained for up to 24 hours, which means that if any of the data points you want to have included in an average happen to fall outside of that 24 hours, that data will not be retained and it will not be possible to carry out the calculation.
