hi courtney

is metric extension better than incident rules? better I mean in the sense of easier management, setup

I would like to avoid digging the repository views, they are dark, not well documented. I opened a SR a few months back to ask how to query adaptive threshold metrics using the repository views and I got no useful answer from oracle support

thanks
