Hi there,

What are the limitations on transforming metric event configurations?

In one environment, we have approx 3,800 metric events. In the anomaly detection app, when I got to transform metric event configurations, only 485 show up.

What does Dynatrace determine as eligible to transform, and how might I easily migrate all of my metric events to anomaly detectors?
