ProfessorProfessorWell I may have to eat crow, I just saw at the bottom of the Service I was testing with that there IS a complex datapoint I can make from the Metrics I'm monitoring. I wish I could just do the metrics as a raw value, but went with sum. But it seems I can use alert thresholds on these services.
So correct me if I'm wrong or if there is a better way but it appears I CAN do it with Services.
Frustratingly, I was building the service in UIv4 and somehow missed the Complex datapoints completely. I guess UIv4 isnt intuitive for me personally. I switched back to Uiv3 because its easier for me, and suddenly and immediately noticed the complex datapoints. Anyway, probably no point in complaining about it.
But yes, please let me know if there is some other way to do it other than Services.
Thanks!
NeophyteThe way you solved this (using a Service) is what first came to mind for me when I read your question. Seems like you found the best way to do this. 😀👍
