Configuring a Credits metric

Credits metrics are automatically active on every connected database and schema asset. To view or configure a Credits metric:

Navigate to Metrics → Performance
Select the CREDITS filter chip.
Click any meassure in the list to open its detail page.
Click the Edit configuration icon (pencil) to open the configuration panel.

Configuration options

Option	Description
Valid	Whether a result within the pass criteria counts as a valid run
Scoring	Include this metric in the asset’s overall quality score
Weightage%	Relative weight of this metric in the overall score (default 100)
Pass Criteria	The condition the result must satisfy to pass (default `>= 100`)
Export	Include metric results in data exports

Threshold

Choose how Prizm determines when to raise a Credits alert. Automated Threshold — System-generated thresholds based on historical daily credit consumption patterns. Prizm computes the statistical baseline from past daily totals and maps deviation magnitude to alert priority:

Priority	Deviation	Default	Description
Low	0σ – 1σ	Off	Within expected daily spend variation. No action required.
Medium	1σ – 2σ	Off	Moderate spend increase detected. Monitor for emerging growth.
High	2σ – 3σ	On	Significant spend anomaly. Investigation recommended.
Critical	≥ 3σ	On	Extreme spend deviation. Immediate action required.

Custom Threshold — User-defined upper and/or lower limits for triggering alerts. Use when you need a hard budget ceiling (e.g., alert if daily credits exceed 500) regardless of the historical baseline.

Semantic context

Credits metrics are automatically tagged with:

Dimension: Resource
Domain: Inherited from the asset’s domain assignment

To update the semantic context or assign Owners, open the metric in Edit configuration mode and scroll to the Semantic context and Owners sections.
