https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Alerting/Unexpected-Low-load-alert-and-Detect-service-load-drops-settings/m-p/283944#M5820 <P>I was wondering how the Service load drops settings work. I don't understand the "Alert if the observed load is less than this percentage of the expected value" settings. We have these set to 100%. If the load is less than 100% of the expected value it would alert if the load was less than 0. However, we are getting Unexpected low load alerts showing a decrease to 130 requests/min as an example. I have not found any good documentation explaining this alert.</P><P>Below is an example of one of our Unexpected low load alerts and the settings for this service.</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="jcimera_0-1755387697015.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29617i5D2EC2F09B8B9B98/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="jcimera_0-1755387697015.png" alt="jcimera_0-1755387697015.png" /></span><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="jcimera_1-1755387749741.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/29618i2F2300A2F4F31BF0/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="jcimera_1-1755387749741.png" alt="jcimera_1-1755387749741.png" /></span></P><P>&nbsp;</P> Sat, 16 Aug 2025 23:45:23 GMT jcimera 2025-08-16T23:45:23Z https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Alerting/Unexpected-Low-load-alert-and-Detect-service-load-drops-settings/m-p/283944#M5820 <P>I was wondering how the Service load drops settings work.
