Statistical
Silence Detection
Updated Jul 28, 2026 · 1d ago
Catches services that stop logging when they normally log every N seconds. The most dangerous failure mode: no errors, just absence.
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
Tracks the expected inter-log gap per service. When a service that normally logs every N seconds goes silent for significantly longer, an alert fires. No baseline needed — activates within the first hour of log data.

- Volume Anomaly
Detects spikes, drops, and flatlines in log volume vs daily and weekly baselines per service.
- Outlier Detection
Multi-dimensional outliers in log feature space. Catches subtle anomalies that single-axis thresholds miss.
- Numeric Field Anomaly
Discovers the numeric fields your logs carry — payment amounts, cache hit rates, queue depths, inference scores — and flags when one drifts from its baseline.
- Post-Change Regression
Checks whether a deploy, config change or scale event actually made things worse, by comparing the window after the change against the matched window before it — per service.
- Error Growth Forecast
Spots an error signature whose arrival rate is climbing and projects when it reaches a volume that matters — as a time range, before the incident, not after.
