Query Explanation

The query sums the per‑backend rate of 5xx responses over the last 3 minutes, divides it by the total request rate for each backend, multiplies by 100, and checks if the result exceeds 5 %. The alert fires when any backend’s 5xx error percentage is greater than 5 % during that interval.
