Comparison baseline types for alert rule thresholds.
Determines what the current metric value should be compared against when
evaluating alert conditions.
TIME_PERIOD
Compare to a historical time period (relative comparison).
Useful for detecting changes over time, seasonal patterns, etc.
When using TIME_PERIOD, the compare_bin_delta parameter specifies
how many time periods back to compare against.
RAW_VALUE
Compare to an absolute threshold value (absolute comparison).
Useful for hard limits and business rule enforcement.
When using RAW_VALUE, compare_bin_delta is ignored.
When using TIME_PERIOD, the allowed compare_bin_delta values depend on bin_size:
Example
TIME_PERIOD = ‘time_period’
RAW_VALUE = ‘raw_value’
