Listed metric expressions can be used for [charting](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/dashboards-and-charts/explorer/explorer-advanced-query-editor/) or alerting using [custom metric events](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/problem-detection-and-analysis/problem-detection/metric-events-for-alerting/advanced-metric-queries/). +# Important note on alerting +If your main use case is to **alert on common Kubernetes issues**, please **do not** set up *Metric events* using any of the metric expressions below. **Instead**, use our product's **built-in alerts**, which we introduced with version 1.254. You find them in **Settings** > **Anomaly detection** > **Kubernetes**. You can find more information about this feature in our [documentation](https://www.dynatrace.com/support/help/how-to-use-dynatrace/infrastructure-monitoring/container-platform-monitoring/kubernetes-monitoring) and in our [community](https://community.dynatrace.com/t5/Feedback-channel/Introducing-easy-alerting-on-common-Kubernetes-platform-issues/td-p/197824). + **Table of contents**
