Today we are introducing the ability to configure thresholds for your metrics that will automatically trigger an alert if breached in the context of any feature rollout or experiment.
This is especially useful for your companyโs suite of core Guardrail Metrics, as you can configure thresholds once and rest assured that youโll be notified whenever a new feature gate or experiment breaches the pre-set threshold. (As a reminder you can also hook up Statsig to Datadog monitors, read moreย here!)
Go to the Metric Detail View page of the metric in question
Tap into the โAlertsโ tab and tap โ+ Create Alertโ
Configure the threshold value and minimum # of participating units required to trigger the alert (even though this second field is optional, we highly recommend configuring it to minimize the noisiness of your alert)
When your metric alert fires, you will be notified via email (and Slack if youโve configured the Statsig Slack bot) and directed to the โDiagnosticsโ tab of the offending gate or experiment.
Please note that these alerts are for metric valuesย in the context of a specific gate or experimentย and NOT on the top-line value of a metric. See ourย docsย for more details on Metric Alerts, and don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions or feedback!
