Which of the following statements is true of detectors created from a chart on a custom dashboard?

AChanges made to the chart affect the detector.

BChanges made to the detector affect the chart.

CThe alerts will show up in the team landing page.

DThe detector is automatically linked to the chart.

Suggested Answer: D

The correct answer is D. The detector is automatically linked to the chart.

When you create a detector from a chart on a custom dashboard, the detector is automatically linked to the chart. This means that you can see the detector status and alerts on the chart, and you can access the detector settings from the chart menu. You can also unlink the detector from the chart if you want to1

Changes made to the chart do not affect the detector, and changes made to the detector do not affect the chart. The detector and the chart are independent entities that have their own settings and parameters. However, if you change the metric or dimension of the chart, you might lose the link to the detector1

The alerts generated by the detector will show up in the Alerts page, where you can view, manage, and acknowledge them. You can also see them on the team landing page if you assign the detector to a team2

B doesn't make sense, the detector shouldn't affect the chart.

C is definitely a thing, alerts show up on the team page!

Wait, are we sure about that? Sounds a bit off.

A is true, changes to the chart do affect the detector.

I disagree, I think D is the right answer.

I remember that alerts do show up in the team landing page, but I don't know if that helps with this question. It feels like a trick question!

Pa 11 months ago

I'm a bit confused about the relationship between the chart and the detector. I thought changes to one would impact the other, but I can't recall which way it goes.

Adria 11 months ago

I feel like I've seen a similar question before, and I think the detector is linked to the chart in some way. Maybe option D is correct?

Major 11 months ago

I think changes to the chart might affect the detector, but I'm not completely sure. I remember something about how they interact.

Oren 12 months ago

I'm leaning towards B. If the detector is created from the chart, then changes to the detector should affect the chart, right? I'm not 100% sure, but that's my best guess.

Flo 12 months ago

I feel confident that the answer is A. The question states that the detector is created from the chart, so any changes to the chart would naturally affect the detector.

Quentin 12 months ago

Okay, let's see. I know that detectors are created from charts, so I'm thinking the answer is either A or D. I'll go with A since that seems more logical.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused on this one. I think it might be D, but I'm not totally sure. I'll have to think it through carefully.

Tawny 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the answer is A. Changes made to the chart will affect the detector since they're linked together.
