Metric Events - Metric Key vs Metric Selector and Alerting on Lack of Metric Data

mmevanson — Wed, 11 Dec 2024 07:46:14 GMT

Greetings!
We have been setting up quite a few metric events. We are trying to use metric keys vs. metric selectors due to licensing restrictions. However, I noticed that only metric selectors support alerting on lack of metric data. Can someone explain why this is the case? It seems like the knowledge of whether or not a metric is present should be obtainable and alertable for both metric keys and selectors.
Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

I can see that flag in metric keys as well.

Best regards

Another option to try would be anomaly detector app

You can setup missing data alert:
