Issue/Introduction

Does ASM have ability to alert based on First/Second Limit through api or UI? 

Environment

Release : SAAS

Component : APP SYNTHETIC MONITOR ENVIRONMENTAL

Cause

Not supported. 

Resolution

We do not plan to add alerting based on performance. The reason is that the alerting configuration would be very complicated and would lead to confusion only.

 

Eng recommends a workaround for that: you can duplicate the monitor and change the timeout to the threshold when you want to be alerted. This monitor will fail if the threshold is reached and alert will be sent. There is a possibility to setup alerting after N consecutive errors to avoid false alarms
