+== Legacy metrics
+
+Over time, we may change the formula used to calculate a specific metric.
+To avoid affecting your existing rules, instead of changing the actual metric definition,
+we create a new metric and refer to the old one as "legacy."
+
+The UI and any new rules you create will use the new metric definition.
+However, any alerts that use the old definition will refer to the metric as "legacy."
