Hi @Sisapy09 ,

I think you can create a metric event using a metric from confluence or kafka extensiones.

For example, you can create an alert from metric event using this query:

kafka.consumer.successful.authentication.total.count

In DQL, you could use this metric in Anomaly Detector:

fetch events
| filter matchesValue(event.kind, "DAVIS_EVENT")
| filter matchesValue(event.type, "AVAILABILITY_EVENT")
| filter matchesValue(event.status, "ACTIVE")
| limit 20

Hope it helps.

Regards,

Elena.

Hi @Sisapy09 ,

'ibmmq.queue.open_input_handles' is the metric you are looking for. You can use this metric in a query in 'advance mode' of Data explorer or in DQL for dashboards.

And for alerts, use the metric with desired threshold value.

For Example

IPPROCS eq 0 for 5 mins.

Thanks,
