Need to create alert based on trace / http metric value

create a custom alert (and thus event in the first instance) in our Production Instana instance.
EVENT: The application is "Card Services" the metric is "Call latency" (P99) and the filter I'm trying to apply is on call.http.path that equals a specific URI (e.g. "/Service.asmx") and specific call.http.host.
ALERT: I want to alert on when the EVENT metric (p99 of call latency for that specific URI/URL) is >= 350ms.
I can successfully obtain this information in Grafana but can't alert through your plugin (are you looking to add alerting in future?) - so I would imagine that I can add this same event/alert in Instana. See attached screenshot.
