Add Coverage Threshold to Commitment Alerts

Currently, commitment alerts only cover expiring commitments and utilization thresholds. However, Coverage is also an important KPI that customers would want to be alerted on.

Please consider adding support for Coverage-based alerts as well.

Thanks!

    Without proactive alerts, under covered usage can silently shift to on-demand rates, resulting in avoidable cloud spend and missed savings opportunities especially for large Enterprises. Tracking coverage drops by reviewing dashboards for every service with SPs, RIs, or CUDs is a painful and manual process.

    Great idea. We'll consider this in Q4, but likely something that we'll be able to prioritize in the first half of next year.
