Summary
Currently None of the ERT CloudWatch alerts give us specific details on the the exchange rate the was pushed on the failure.
Possible resolution
We should change the text in the alert. If the ERT does smoothing because the median exchange rate changed too much since midnight, then the alert should include:
the exchange rate at midnight (in cents per hbar)
The exchange rate it would have changed to without the clipping
The exchange rate it did change to, because of the clipping.
Those numbers will help in diagnosing whether there is something actually wrong, or the true exchange rate is simply changing very fast.
