There are three threshold types:

- **Static**: A fixed threshold, such as when there are 100 errors in a period of time.
- **Percent change**: A percent based threshold, such as when there are 10% more errors in a time period compared to a previous period. These are also referred to as [Change Alerts](#change-alerts-percent-change).
- **Percent change**: A percent-based threshold, such as when there are 10% more errors in a time period compared to a previous period. These are also referred to as [Change Alerts](#change-alerts-percent-change).
- **Dynamic**: A dynamic threshold set by Sentry that detects anomalies whenever values fall outside expected bounds.

By default, metric alerts use a fixed threshold.

Dynamic alerts can be used when you don't know what threshold to set, but you know you want to be alerted when something is far outside the bounds of normalcy.

You can select how responsive the alert will be, and whether you want to be alerted when the metric is above, below, or both above and below the expected bounds.
