Hi all, is it possible to create or adjust the SQL memory saturation dynamic alert to differentiate between reserved SQL memory and regular hosts memory? Right now it’s alerting on hosts that have 90% memory used by SQL for days. I want the alert to ignore them somehow?

Hey&nbsp;[@ChrisRFonz](https://community.dynatrace.com/user/85936)

If it’s an out of the box anomaly detection setting then I don’t believe it’s possible to change what the underlying metric used is. You could try increasing the threshold to something more appropriate for the host or create a custom metric event that takes into consideration the metrics you’re interested in.
