How to Configure Anomaly Detection

Configuring Anomaly Detection

In Blindata, the anomaly detection feature offers a robust configuration process through the profiling monitor. This configuration can be globally applied to all metrics within a profiling monitor, establishing a default setup for all the metrics in that monitor. Alternatively, users have the flexibility to specify unique configurations for individual metrics.

Anomaly Detection Monitor

Configuration Properties

Option Description
Time Series Size Set the length of the time series data used for analysis.
Training-Validation Split Determine the percentage of data allocated for training and validation purposes.
Metric Feed Frequency Define the frequency at which metric data is fed into the system for analysis.
Forecast Bounds Confidence Establish the confidence level for forecast bounds, influencing anomaly detection sensitivity.
Dynamic Forecast Length Enable this flag to allow the model to autonomously determine the most suitable forecast length based on the entropy of the time series.
Fixed Forecast Length Alternatively, users can set a specific, user-defined value for the forecast length.
Minimum Training Data Set the number of records required before the machine learning model initiates the training process.

By configuring these parameters within the profiling monitor, users can tailor the anomaly detection system to their specific needs. Whether applying a universal configuration for all metrics or fine-tuning settings for individual metrics, Blindata provides a flexible and adaptable approach to anomaly detection.
