Percentage-Based thresholds?

Is there anywhere in LM that lets me set a static percentage-based threshold?

I'm aware of dynamic thresholds (not an expert) but we have some things that stay absolutely flat (or pretty close) so dynamic thresholds dont work mathematically for going over OR under by a percentage, for what I believe to be obvious reasons:

  • Calculated lower threshold = 640 - ((640 - 640) * 0.5) = 640

So I'm wondering, and maybe I've missed it, but is there any meaningful way to simply alert on a percentage change UP or DOWN for data that is flat?

    I'm not sure about percentage, but you can use the Absolute Delta thresholds to alert on a difference of the value itself. For example, if the value is normally 100, you can set Absolute Delta to "|> 10" which would be the equivalent of a larger than 10% change up or down.

      Oh my goodness. I've been using the product 3 years and literally never looked at this drop down. Well, I feel silly, but I can say I learned something. Thanks. :)

        oh cool, I knew about delta value, but didn't realize there was a delta% :)
