Understanding the forecasting and alert functionality #9

Awesome app. Just got it up and running. I notice the 3 hourly job is continually sending me alerts due to the forecast values being 200 - 300% over current actual values. I just have all the default values at this stage for the forecasts. Why would it be forecasting so high. Am I supposed to go through each service and metric and individually set these? Even if I change this to Linear forecasting the percentage forecasts are very high - over 400%.

Also - if I set all forecasts to EXCLUDED - does that now mean I will only receive alerts for actual cost increases?

What I am tying to work out is how to get an alert only when there is a cost blowout. I.e. someone turns on an additional integration suite tenant and triggers a $6k charge. What settings would be necessary to get an alert for that?
