Monitoring Watchpoints for incidents


When creating a Watchpoint, you can automatically create incident detection rules which will monitor the Watchpoint for incidents.

incident
 An event in web traffic characterized by abnormal performance, availability, or traffic volume as compared to a baseline.

Incident detection rules determine how the system detects, analyzes, and notifies you about problems (incidents) in your web traffic.

For each Watchpoint, you can configure incident detection rules of different types.
