We are pleased to announce a new feature that significantly enhances the utility and clarity of our alert system. With the addition of contextual charts to our alerts, users can now see a visual representation of the metrics measured at the time an alert is triggered. For example, if an alert is set to notify when the average CPU usage exceeds a certain threshold over the past 15 minutes, our system will provide a chart that details the CPU usage minute by minute for that duration.
This feature not only aids in understanding why an alert was triggered but also provides a graphical context that simplifies the analysis, allowing users to quickly gauge the severity and specifics of the situation. It's designed to help system administrators and IT professionals make more informed decisions, streamline their monitoring processes, and reduce the time spent on diagnosing and resolving issues.
