Dimension Tracking (deprecated)

Removed October 2024. All dimension tracking monitors were automatically migrated to Metric Monitors using the RELATIVE_ROW_COUNT metric.

The dimension_tracking YAML key is no longer accepted. Attempting to use it produces: "Creating a dimension_tracking monitor is not allowed. Use a metric monitor with metric='RELATIVE_ROW_COUNT' instead."

No action is required -- existing monitors were auto-migrated.

What to use instead

Create a metric monitor with RELATIVE_ROW_COUNT to track dimension-level row count changes:

  metric:
    - name: dimension_check

      data_source:

      alert_conditions:
        - metric: RELATIVE_ROW_COUNT
