+When you create a monitor and open the metrics search query in the Metrics Explorer, the signal gets a new value for the [`quantize`](/docs/metrics/metrics-operators/quantize/) operator based on the time range of the query. The default value for the `quantize` operator is `1m`. Because opening the query in Metrics Explorer may not match because of quantization differences, you may need to adjust the query to return the results you expect, especially when creating a monitor that uses the [anomaly detection method](#detection-method).<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/alerts/monitors/metrics-query-with-quantize.png')} alt="Metrics query with quantize" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="600"/>
