Change the Default Metric Policy behavior

Prior to customization, Moogsoft Cloud uses the Default Metric Policy to accept all metrics, store them, and use some initial suggested settings to evaluate the data for anomalies. When other metric policies are enabled, this policy evaluates the metric data which does not match any other policy. The Default Metric Policy is always enabled and appears last in the list of metric policies.

If the initial settings are appropriate for the data storage and anomaly detection needs of your environment, you can choose to keep the Default Metric Policy as it is and do nothing additional. If your environment requires a more customized approach, you can create additional metric policies and let the default policy evaluate the metric data that does not match them.

You can also modify the default settings to drop unmatched metric data. When you have enabled additional metric policies, the Default Metric Policy only applies to metric data that does not match your other policies. If you create policies for all metric data of interest, you can set the Default Metric Policy to drop the remaining data if you do not want to store it or use it in anomaly detection.
