Improved Alert Editor for Event Alerts With Automatic Time Window Selection

The Alert Editor for Event Alerts now automatically selects the optimal time window based on the configured Count Over Last parameter. As a result, the previous options for manually-configured time windows (1h, 6h, 1D, 1W, and 2W) have been removed. This ensure the Alert Editor preview accurately reflects the alert rule evaluation.

Increasing the Count Over Last value will continue to reduce the frequency of alert evaluations, just as it did before. For details, see Frequency of Alert Rule Evaluation.

Additionally, each data point in the Alert Editor now directly corresponds to an alert rule evaluation, providing clearer visibility into the expected alerting behavior.

Automate Orphaned Alert Occurrence Resolution or Deactivation

Depending on the alert type, you can now configure an alert occurrence to automatically deactivate or resolve when the triggering entity, such as a host or container, has stopped reporting data.

Entities may cease to report data during scaling events or on dynamic workloads. Deactivating or resolving orphaned alert occurrences eliminates false positives and ensures only alert occurrences from entities that actually exist are reported in the system.

Availability of this feature depends on the alert type. For more details, see Deactivate or Resolve Orphaned Alert Occurrences Automatically

Piechart Visualizations for Dashboard Panels

You can now visualize data with pie charts in Sysdig Monitor Dashboards. To get started, open or create a dashboard panel, and choose the visualization type Piechart. Pie charts present segmented data in a visually appealing and intuitive way. You can customize your pie chart, and select its expression from a wide range of units, such as dollars, terabytes, and microseconds. For more details, see Piechart

Wasted Workload Spend Reports

Sysdig added a new report type to the Costs Reports module. The Wasted Workload Spend Report provides detailed insights into workload-level resource consumption. It calculates Accrued Cost, Estimated Rightsizing Spend, and Wasted Spend to identify unused CPU and memory resources. This helps your organization optimize costs.
