Annotating time series data points with alert information

A computer program product comprising computer-readable program code to be executed by one or more processors when retrieved from a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the program code including instructions to:

• retrieve a time series data point and a corresponding alert trigger condition from a time series database;
• evaluate whether the time series data point meets the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• output an alert notification associated with the time series data point and the corresponding alert trigger condition when the time series data point meets the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• store alert information, which annotates the time series data point, in the time series database from which the time series data point and the corresponding alert trigger condition were initially retrieved, the alert information being a historical record that identifies the corresponding alert trigger condition and a time period when the time series data point had met the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• and
• output, in response to a query for the time series database to output the time series data point, the time series data point annotated with the alert information from the time series database.

A method for annotating time series data points with alert information, the method comprising:

• retrieving a time series data point and a corresponding alert trigger condition from a time series database;
• evaluating whether the time series data point meets the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• outputting an alert notification associated with the time series data point and the corresponding alert trigger condition when the time series data point meets the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• storing alert information, which annotates the time series data point, in the time series database from which the time series data point and the corresponding alert trigger condition were initially retrieved, the alert information being a historical record that identifies the corresponding alert trigger condition and a time period when the time series data point had met the corresponding alert trigger condition;
• and
• outputting, in response to a query for the time series database to output the time series data point, the time series data point annotated with the alert information from the time series database.
