Issue/Introduction

Uptime metric has been found with thousands and milions value. How to set based on that Thresholds properly?

Resolution

Uptime is counted in milliseconds thus threshold has to be set the same way.

Having value captured from the description, to be more specific 482.k. corresponds to 482.5 seconds nor 8 minutes and 2.5 seconds.

So for setting up threshold for 5 minutes we need to insert 300000. 

1 s = 1000 ms
300 seconds (5 minuts) * 1000ms =300000
