Workflow

This is a generalized workflow for creating Anomaly Detection reports. Before you begin, you must review and decide the calculation mode to use for calculating Anomaly Detections.

Procedure

  1. To start a new report, click theCreate New icon in the toolbar.
  2. To add an anomaly, click Add Anomaly Detection in the left panel. Select the type of anomaly to add (Hourly or Daily).
    • The chart and detail table displays the data for an unlimited number of anomalies. However, the chart can become illegible.
  3. To apply a dimensional filter to the included anomaly, click and drag a dimension from the Dimensions tab to the Add Filter box in the chart.
  4. To change the focus range, click the date icon in the toolbar. Based on your selection, the report is updated.
    • By default, daily Anomaly Detections display data from the current day, and hourly Anomaly Detections display data from the most recently completed hour of the current date.
    • You can change the date range that is displayed in the report.
  5. Optionally, you can filter the report to display only the Top N Anomaly Detections, which are based on absolute value of the measured standard deviation.
  6. You can also apply a visual shading to the report based on threshold values you specify.
  7. As needed, you can sort the display in the details table by clicking the header of a column.
  8. If you want, you can add a description for the report.
  9. To save the generated report, click the Save icon in the toolbar. Enter a name in the dialog and click Save.
  10. Export the report data as needed.
  11. From theAnomaly Detections page, you can also add the report as a component to an existing dashboard.
