Need ability to select single event with multiple threshold on same metric for different disk mount

Currently in Instana you cannot create more than one threshold on same metric. We get this message "No more than one threshold can be defined on the same metric."


Use case: Customer wants to create a single event when disk mount usage exceeds 90% for multiple directories like /opt, /tmp, /home etc.


Current workaround create mulitple events but it would good to have a single event and it easier to maintain. For example, for a customer we ended up creating 12-14 on the same metric type and thresholds but different mount points.

    While we're currently working on adding multiple thresholds in a metric, that would still rely on the same mountpoint to be defined. Listing multiple mountpoints (ie filters) with different thresholds would not be possible and is not currently being considered.


    Thank you for taking the time to provide your ideas to IBM. We truly value our relationship with you and appreciate your willingness to share details about your experience, your recommendations, and ideas.


    IBM has evaluated the request and has determined that it cannot be implemented at this time or does not align with our current strategy or roadmap.


    In 12 months, you will receive a notification that you can resubmit this request for consideration.


    Thank you for bringing your ideas to us. If you have any additional feedback, thoughts or ideas, or if there is anything else I can do, please do not hesitate to reply to this message to continue the conversation.

    Is there any update on an ETA? Even first half or second half would be helpful. Thanks.
