Rules

An alert’s rules decide which entities trigger it, by tag.
To alert on a metric threshold, first create a tagging rule that tags the matching entities, then reference that tag here with mode: "INCLUDE".

Perimeter (scope)

scope narrows which part of the catalog the alert covers. Every dimension is optional; an empty/absent one means “no restriction”.

Trigger types

When an instance is raised, it carries a trigger type describing why:

Condition operators (reference)

The metric comparison operators — used by the tagging-rule metric conditions that feed alert tags — are: LOWER_THAN, LOWER_OR_EQUAL, GREATER_THAN, GREATER_OR_EQUAL, EQUAL, NOT_EQUAL, plus the percentiles TOP_PERCENT / BOTTOM_PERCENT. Percentile operators are evaluated by the data platform (a percent_rank() window over the scoped population).
The scalar operators apply at row level; the two percentile operators only make sense across a population, so they’re resolved on the data platform.
