Unable to set Settings -> Anomaly detection -> Custom alert on custom metric

[imoskovko1]

Hello Gents!

I am unable to find my fancy custom created metrics (on custom device) in Settings -> Anomaly detection -> Custom alerts.

Is it current product limitation or i missed some important atributes then created custom device and custom metrics? Device and metrics seams to be ok... What to check? I can post JSON used to create this stuff.

Regards, Igor

You have to use the thresholds API to define a custom event on top of your metric. We are working right now on adding all metrics to the custom alert config screen.

Hey Wolfgang, I had a problem with this approach when trying to create a threshold for an AWS metric `com.dynatrace.builtin:aws.rds.free.storage.space`

{"error":{"code":400,"message":"The given timeseries id is not usable for registering a threshold configuration."}}

Do you expect that to be the case?

Thank you!

You cannot add aws thresholds that way.

Thank you, Sebastian. Is there any way to alert off AWS metrics?

[imoskovko1]

Thank you Wolfgang! "thresholds API to define a custom event" will do fine. "adding all metrics to the custom alert config screen" will do even better 🙂

Solved.

Jumping in on the wagon -

is there any way of having anomaly detection alerts on custom metrics?

Answer to this question is posted above

@sebastian k.

No, question was about custom alert on which you define a custom threshold.

My intention was to ask about automatic anomaly detection using baseline - i.e: can auto anomaly detection be applied to custom metrics?

Hi Wolfgang,

Do you have an answer if there's a way to use auto-baseline anomaly detection on custom metrics?

Would appreciate your help,
Daniel

Not so far.

@Wolfgang B.

Thanks!
Is it something that is on the road map? Any estimation?

[wolfgang_beer]

Yes that's my next item on the roadmap but I can't give you an estimate as of today.

@Wolfgang B.

Alright.
I really appreciate the quick response.
Have a great day!
