How to configure alerts based on a statetimeseries inside plugin.json ?

Thx for this quick answer. Does it mean that there is no way to declare an alert from the plugin.json file when using statetimeseries ?

No, you have to use dynatrace API to set threshold for custom metric. After this events will fire automatically, but this is not configurable from plugin.json (according to my knowledge).

Fortunately it's possible to define an alert on statetimeseries, here is an example:

"metrics": [
{
"statetimeseries": {
"key": "node_state",
"states": ["Synchronized", "Sync in progress", "Unsynchronized"],
"dimensions": [],
"displayname": "Node status"
},
"alert_settings": [
{
"alert_id": "sync_in_progress",
"event_type": "AVAILABILITY_EVENT",
"event_name": "Redis Node synchronization in progress",
"default_state": "inactive",
"threshold": 0,
"description": "Node is {severity} for {violating_samples}.",
"alert_condition": "ABOVE",
"samples": 5,
"violating_samples": 3,
"dealerting_samples": 5,
"state_name": "Sync in progress"
},
{
"alert_id": "unsynchronized",
"event_type": "AVAILABILITY_EVENT",
"event_name": "Redis Node unsynchronized",
"threshold": 0,
"description": "Node is {severity} for {violating_samples}.",
"alert_condition": "ABOVE",
"samples": 5,
"violating_samples": 3,
"dealerting_samples": 5,
"state_name": "Unsynchronized"
}
]
}

]

My bad. I didn't found such usage in docs.
