[AO] Alert details page - Investigation about main chart of Metric Threshold rule type

[maryam-saeidi]

📝 Summary

Design: Figma

We need to check what needs to be done to use the Metric Explorer chart on the Alert details page.

Metric explorer chart:

✅ Acceptance Criteria

• Answer the following questions:

  • How easily can we use the Metric Explorer chart on the Alert details page? Is there any issue or blocker for it? (Maybe we need to fix this issue before using the chart)

  We decided to use preview charts instead of the metric explorer one since it has everything that we need for the alert details page. We only need to make some adjustments, such as allowing a custom time range, and using a line chart instead of a bar chart, ...

  • What is the road map for Metric Explorer page?

  • Can we use a Lens visualization for this purpose?

  It would be easier to use preview for the first sound since being able to use the charts in dashboards is not a hard requirement at this step. After implementing the alert details page for the metric threshold, we have a better overview of the complexity, and we can plan afterward to move to the Lens visualization if needed.

  • What type of chart do we want to use by default?

  In the first step, we use line charts, but we can have a dedicated ticket later on to have more specific defaults.

  • How should we handle the custom equation chart?

  Since we already have a preview for it, we can use the same on the alert details page.
