The monitor examples page lacked guidance on how to create an alert that fires only when a metric stays above a threshold for a sustained period, rather than triggering on a brief spike. Support received a question from a user who wanted to alert when a metric remained above a threshold for 30 minutes continuously. The solution is to use min() as the aggregation in the threshold monitor query and set the range to the desired sustained duration. Because min() returns the lowest value in the window, the result only exceeds the threshold if every data point in the window was above the threshold.

Users receiving a "No activity detected by monitor" notification were confused about what it meant and whether there was a bug in their setup. The previous description of the Alert on no data setting did not explain what the notification message would say, nor did it mention a common use case for this feature. Updated the description to include the exact notification message text and a concrete example of when to use this option (detecting when a data source stops sending events, e.g. an agent going offline).

New users iterating quickly on their event schema during prototyping were confused when they hit the once-per-day vacuum limit and had no documented path forward. The vacuum fields section mentioned the limit but gave no practical guidance on what to do when it blocks progress. Added a list of alternatives: using a dedicated development dataset, deleting and recreating the dataset, and trimming before vacuuming.
