Connect metric event to its entity

Yosi_Neuman — Tue, 30 Dec 2025 16:32:45 GMT

Hi guys,

Customer ask to create a metric event on http check response time and set the impacted entity as the http test.

We have tried to use the Add property with http check, http step, synthetic monitor and monitored entity but the problem keep showing under impacted the environment and not the synthetic test....

Any one knows how to connect the metric event to its entity?

Thanks in advance for your inputs

Hi,

I would say using Performance thresholds instead.

Best regards

Ei,

are you doing this on Managed or on SaaS?
are you doing this on Davis Anomaly Detection or metric event (setting classic)?
can you paste the matric key you are using please?

Regards

Hey @Yosi_Neuman ,
This metric does not have the synthetic test dimension, just the step and geolocation. Probably this is why it gets assigned to the whole environment. I'd recommend deleting the metric event and creating that from scratch.
I tested it in my lab, and I've been successful (the same metric) with assigning it to the synthetic test step, for example.

Hi @AntonPineiro

Customer ask to get alert on performance not on a specific location but only when all 3 location breach the threshold.

Which is not possible from Performance e Threshold

Hi @Julius_Loman

Thanks for your hint!

Using splitby() instead of splitBy("dt.entity.http_check") cause the problem!

Now its working like a charm
