## Request

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects a createImpactMetricsConfigSchema.

- `metricName` (string, required) — The Prometheus metric series to query. It includes both unleash prefix and metric type and display name
- `timeRange` (enum, required) — The time range for the metric data.
  - Allowed values: `hour`, `day`, `week`, `month`
- `yAxisMin` (enum, required) — Whether the chart should begin at zero on the y-axis.
  - Allowed values: `auto`, `zero`
- `aggregationMode` (enum, required) — The aggregation mode for the metric data.
  - Allowed values: `rps`, `count`, `avg`, `sum`, `p95`, `p99`, `p50`
- `labelSelectors` (map from string to list of string, required) — The selected labels and their values for filtering the metric data.
- `id` (string, optional) — The unique ULID identifier for this impact metric configuration. Generated automatically if not provided.
- `title` (string, optional) — Optional title for the impact metric chart.
- `source` (enum, optional) — The Prometheus data source for this metric. Defaults to internal.
  - Allowed values: `internal`, `external`

- `displayName` (string, required) — The human readable display name of the impact metric
- `yAxisMin` (enum, required) — Whether the chart should begin at zero on the y-axis.
  - Allowed values: `auto`, `zero`
- `source` (enum, optional) — The Prometheus data source for this metric. Defaults to internal.
  - Allowed values: `internal`, `external`
- `step` (enum, optional, nullable) — The step interval for querying metrics data. This is automatically calculated from the timeRange and stored when the metric is created or updated.
  - Allowed values: `1m`, `15m`, `3h`, `1d`
- `title` (string, optional) — Optional title for the impact metric chart.
- `mode` (enum, optional) — The access mode for this impact metric configuration: "read" when referenced by a safeguard, "write" otherwise.
  - Allowed values: `read`, `write`
