How to send an email notification on Synthetic HTTP Monitor failure with 5xx response status code only?

[DynaQ]

Hi,

Is there a way to configure Dynatrace to only send an email notification when Synthetic HTTP Monitor fails with 5xx status code? I don't want to change the "Fail if status code is >=400" settings but want the emails to be sent for only the 5xx failures.

I tried to use the Custom event filter and define the description to contain 5xx, but that didn't work. Not sure which part of the problem is considered the problem description?

Thanks

Which metric did you use? Possibly this is better looked at on chat, so we can see the settings used
