Statistical
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
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.

- 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.
