SlidingWindow

An evaluation window that advances each time the alarm is evaluated, forming a rolling time window. This is the default evaluation window. A sliding window has no additional configuration options.

Choose a sliding window when you need the fastest detection and the calendar boundaries of the data don't matter, such as for continuous performance, latency, or resource-exhaustion monitoring.
