Metrics Anomaly detection - event type "warning"

dcole66 — Fri, 06 Feb 2026 01:21:38 GMT

I have a metric selector with a threshold generating an Error alert (which makes a problem and then fires our Service Now integration.

But I'd like to have Warnings generated as well at a lower threshold. This is easy enough. But where can I see these warnings. They do not show in problems (I cannot filter by severity of Warning as it never shows this as an option). Do they show anywhere else?

@dcole66 "Warning" is not a standard problem severity , I see its actually available in the event type drop down to select but it could be for a specific purpose (which I am not aware of) . Here are the standard categories

If your intention is to trigger a problem with a severity other than the default listed, it would fall under custom severity. What you can do is add a "Warning" or any other custom message to the title of the event template when creating a Metric event which a different threshold and use that keyword as a trigger in the alerting profile for your service now integration while using the custom event category.
