Check Threshold Change Gate
Definition
Change gate configuration. Its presence on CheckThresholds leaves degraded and failed
absolute, but additionally requires the observed quantity to be materially worse than it was
over baselineWindow before the check fails. The check rule expression must provide the
absolute threshold comparator through its parsed expression or a hand-written top-level
comparison; otherwise the write is rejected.
How the change gate's value is compared against the observed quantity's recent level.
absolute_delta: The observed quantity must differ from its recent level by at leastvalue, in the unit of the observed quantity itself and in the worsening direction defined by the rule's absolute threshold comparator.relative_factor: The observed quantity must differ from its recent level by at leastvaluetimes in the worsening direction defined by the rule's absolute threshold comparator.
"absolute_delta""relative_factor"The minimum change required, interpreted according to comparison.
The window the observed quantity's recent level is derived from.
Optional minimum average traffic rate over baselineWindow required for the detector
to evaluate. Supported only for Services Metrics and Spans Metrics queries, in
requests/second and spans/second respectively. Traffic is derived from the query's
authored selections, filters, grouping, and rate window and evaluated ad hoc. Dashboard
variable placeholders are omitted, as in the observed check query.
Other query types, including hand-written PromQL, cannot configure this floor.
Export compiles this floor into a PromQL enablement condition with the authored filters
and service namespace/name matching. Import retains the condition rather than a typed floor.
No traffic query or volume gate is applied when omitted.
