Metric event: value is not equal to

rohit_bc — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 09:12:41 GMT

While configuring the metric events, we can choose if the metric value is above or below a particular threshold.
Is there a way or is there a plan to include a single condition - say- value is not equal to?

To give an example - if the value is always 1, an alert needs to be generated if the value goes to 2 or falls to 0. Instead of having two metric events for each case above and below the threshold, is there a way we can just use "if the threshold is not a particular value"?

In the new UI, this can be possible through workflows, I believe, but in case migration to the new platform isn't possible, or in the case of managed customers, how do we go about setting this?

Is there a way this can be achieved with a single metric event, or is this suitable as a product idea?

Hello @rohit_bc.

As you say in your post, you can only go above and below. Try explaining the use case in Product Ideas, I think equals and not equals cases should be added and it could be valuable to have those options.
