    - ``endpoint_minimum_error_rps``: Minimum error rate per second for errors to any singular endpoint before an alert can be triggered for errors to any singular endpoint. Defaults to the namespace ``minimum_error_rps`` if specified, or **5**.
    - ``endpoints``: List of endpoints to create specific alerts for.
       - ``name``: The name of the endpoint.
-      - ``error_threshold_ratio``: Error threshold ratio (0-1). If not specified the threshold will be inherited from the parent.
