    It seems like alerting on a percentage for all sets of metrics will not be possible in the next 6-12 months based on the current priorities. We are working on being able to alert on HPA replicas based on a derived metric in the meantime as has been discussed. I'll close out this idea but feel free to comment here and reopen, if needed.

    Hi @Guest , I see this is your idea. Nice to meet you! I'm Jayanth, the PM for Kubernetes at Instana and I'm looking into this idea.

    This should now be possible using Smart Alerts.

    The idea would be to select Container Memory/CPU and then group by Pod Name to get Memory/CPU at the pod level:


    You can also filter for specific namespaces/deployments as well!


    Does this solve your use case?
