Severity
Every alert is assigned a severity level, either set manually or determined automatically by the detector.| Level | Meaning |
|---|---|
CRITICAL | Immediate reaction required — treat as an active incident |
HIGH | Dangerous event that needs prompt attention and resolution |
MEDIUM | Important or suspicious event worth investigating |
LOW | Informational event that may provide useful insights or metrics |
INFO | Progress or state notification only |
Auto | Detector chooses severity based on its own logic; overriding this forces all alerts to the selected level |
When a detector is set to Auto, it may emit alerts at different severity levels depending on conditions. Overriding forces a fixed level across all alerts from that detector.
Cron Schedule
Controls how frequently a detector evaluates. Three formats are accepted:- Human readable
- Quartz cron
- Milliseconds
Plain-language intervals — easiest to read and configure.
Condition (Threshold)
Conditions control when a detector fires based on a numeric value. The syntax supports basic comparisons, percentage changes, delta operations, and edge-detection operators.Basic comparison
Basic comparison
Standard numeric comparison against a fixed value.
Explicit sign (no absolute value)
Explicit sign (no absolute value)
Prefix the threshold with
+ or - to skip absolute value handling and compare the exact signed value.Percentage change
Percentage change
Fires based on the percentage change from the previous value. Formula: Example: if
(v - v₀) / v₀ × 100.v₀ = 1000 and v = 700, the change is -30%.Delta (absolute change)
Delta (absolute change)
Fires based on the absolute change from the previous value using
++ (increase) or -- (decrease).Once operators (edge detection)
Once operators (edge detection)
>> and << variants fire only once when a condition transitions from false to true. Subsequent evaluations return false even if the condition remains true — useful for detecting threshold crossings without repeated alerts.Max/Min operators
Max/Min operators
>>> and <<< variants fire only when a new all-time maximum or minimum is reached above/below the threshold.>>> 100:| Value | Fires? | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 90 | No | Below threshold |
| 200 | Yes | First value exceeding 100 |
| 150 | No | Above 100 but below previous max (200) |
| 300 | Yes | New maximum |
| 200 | No | Below current max (300) |
Spaces in condition expressions are ignored —
> ++ 100 and >++100 are equivalent.
