This werk improves the service monitoring rule for the otel service, to make setting up otel monitoring rules easier and clearer.

  • Make the top level option mandatory and don't show a checkbox
  • Remove the top level title and change the choice labels to better describe the choices
  • Remove the "monotonic counter" choice from the specific metric rate calculation metric. "Don't calculate a rate" is the new default and will be applied if "monotonic counter" was selected before.
