Bring in past data

Send past counts so alerts start today, and see which alerts the past would have raised.

In short: send your past counts once, and CountWatch knows your normal week from the first day: alerts start the same day instead of after about 3 weeks. The result also lists the alerts that history would have raised, so you see what you would have caught. Your agent can do this for you.

POST /v1/import takes bucket arrays per watch: {metric, dimensions, start, resolution: 5m | 1h | 1d, counts[]}, up to 90 days each and 1,000 watch-days per request. Add labels for known incidents (real) or expected changes, and tz for the watch's timezone. The answer is 202 with an import_id; poll GET /v1/imports/{import_id} until status: done. Each watch then shows the rules chosen for it and the alerts they would have raised in the replayed days: what this service would have told you.

For agents: this page as Markdown.
