Mapping Classic Metrics with Context-Specific PromQL Metrics

Sysdig classic metrics such as cpu.used.percent previously returned values from a process, container, or host depending on the query segmentation or scope. You can now use context-explicit metrics which aligns with the flat model and resource specific semantics of Prometheus naming schema. Your existing dashboards and alerts will be automatically migrated to the new naming convention.
