Error Rate Anomaly

Updated May 31, 2026 · today

Per-service error percentage anomalies vs baseline, with sustained-elevation guards so a single noisy minute doesn't fire and slow ramps still get caught.

Example alert

api-gateway: 4.2% error rate vs 0.3% baseline (14x normal)

Exact wording varies — the detector generates titles from the anomaly it finds. This is representative of what an alert looks like when it fires.

How it works

Computes error-to-total ratio per service per minute and compares against a rolling baseline. A dual-gate (sample count + temporal coverage) prevents false alarms during low-traffic periods and ramp-up. Learning period: 5 days.

Related detectors

  • Volume Anomaly

    Detects spikes, drops, and flatlines in log volume vs daily and weekly baselines per service.

  • Silence Detection

    Catches services that stop logging when they normally log every N seconds. The most dangerous failure mode: no errors, just absence.

  • Outlier Detection

    Multi-dimensional outliers in log feature space. Catches subtle anomalies that single-axis thresholds miss.

  • Recurring Pattern Detection

    Identifies log patterns that recur on a schedule — daily batch jobs, hourly cron runs, weekly reports — and flags when one fails to fire on its expected cadence.
