Expected Behavior

According to https://registry.terraform.io/providers/DataDog/datadog/latest/docs/resources/monitor#on_missing_data, "This option is only available for APM Trace Analytics, Audit Trail, CI, Error Tracking, Event, Logs, and RUM monitors."

I would expect this to fail on my example configuration with metric alert monitors.

Actual Behavior

I tested this and actually it works fine with metric alert type monitors. Just wanted to double check, that this behavior will continue to be supported and potentially it is just the documentation that is outdated?
