Add additional parameters to anomaly alert definitions

Databand's anomaly alerts do a rolling calculation to determine the acceptable range for a given metric each time it is calculated. Depending on the minimum value and interquartile range for the data points used in the anomaly calculation, the lower bound for the anomaly range sometimes goes below 0. This means that a metric like record count could technically pass the anomaly detection with a value of 0, even though that is a value that will almost always raise red flags for the customer. 

 

A suggestion is to add an extra parameter to the anomaly detection that allows for static upper and lower bounds in addition to the anomaly range. This would cover unintended results like the example described above. You can achieve this today using two separate alert definitions, but it would be much more efficient to have it combined in a single definition. Additionally, if you have two separate definitions, you may end up with two separate triggered alerts, and we do not want our alerts to be too noisy.
