Historical data in Metric events

[hv]

Hi,

I'm trying to create an alert (metric event) based on the average value of a builtin metric (eg: builtin:containers.cpu.usageMilliCores) in last X days using metric selector.

How can time be passed into metric selector?

See there is an equivalent of &from=now-5m in metric selector like in the API call below.

We ended up using a combination of api/v2/metrics and /api/v2/events/ingest to check the data and alert.
