Hey all,

I have an alarm pipeline that is utilizing the consolidation feature but have found that when I use the value variable in notification messaging I am ending up with long trailing decimals even though the value itself is rounded to two places. I am assuming the consolidation must take an aggregation of the value over the consolidation period and is resulting in the extra sig figs.

Is there a way to either choose the aggregation (max or min perhaps) or to round the value back to decimals for notifications?

Thanks!
