== Legacy metrics

Over time, we may change the formula used to calculate a specific metric.
To avoid affecting your existing rules, instead of changing the actual metric definition,
we create a new metric and refer to the old one as "legacy."

The UI and any new rules you create will use the new metric definition.
However, any alerts that use the old definition will refer to the metric as "legacy."
