Detailed Explanation of Synthetic Dynamic Alerts and the automatic calculation of thresholds?

My client has requested a detailed explanation of how Dynamic Alert Baselines are calculated. Including how it accounts for applications going through planned/unplanned downtime within the calculation?

Could someone please shine some light on this topic for me?

Thank you in advance,

David

So in this case, we would compare the average Response Time for the last 5 minutes with the average for the last 2 days and if it's 1s above, fire a warning alert and when it's 3s above, fire a severe alert.

I believe if the maintenance is unplanned then it would be counted in the average as we would not know to exclude it.

However, if the maintenance was part of a test maintenance window that it would not. More information about the different maintenance windows can be seen here:
