Data collection window

You can set the Data Collection Window to specify whether metrics with incremental query scope should use data from the last completed aggregation interval or data from the current, partially-complete aggregation interval. The setting is available during table configuration unless the table's Query Scope is set to Full Table.

You can override the setting during metric configuration, but not if Query Scope is set to Full Table.

There are two options: Complete window and Partial window.

  • Complete window is the default, and indicates that metrics should collect data from the last completed aggregation interval.
  • Partial window indicates that metrics should collect data from the current aggregation interval, which may result in some data being excluded because it isn't finished loading into the source table.
