Sections and cards on the Overview tab for a Component-based alert in Health Log Analytics
The alert Overview tab in Health Log Analytics helps you understand Component-based alerts.
For a detailed description of Component-based alerts, see Types of Health Log Analytics alerts.
Summary
- Identified issue
This card describes the issue that led to the alert. The identified issue appears on the card and in the title for the alert. Information about the alert appears in the banner.
Figure 1. Identified issue Select the Details tab for more information about the alert.
Select the View surrounding logs link to view the log lines that were generated one minute before and one minute after the alert. For more information, see Analyze log lines that surround an anomaly in Health Log Analytics.
- Anomaly
The Anomaly card illustrates the anomalous activity that led to the alert. The chart shows:
- Recent anomalous activity
- Expected behavior (the learned baseline)
- Baseline values from one day earlier
- Baseline values from the previous week
In this example, the system tracks the baseline rate (the average number of events per minute) for a specific log pattern. When this typically inactive log generates a spike in events, the system detects the deviation from the baseline and generates an alert.
Figure 2. Anomaly card In this example, the blue line represents the current average number of events per minute. The orange-shaded area represents the baseline values for the same hour in the previous week.Figure 3. Anomaly card with baseline values one week For more information on the kinds of anomalies that you might encounter, see Types of anomalous behavior in Health Log Analytics.

Cause
- Meaningful log properties
- On this card, each bar chart shows the distribution of values for a single log property that
contributed to the anomaly. Each property value is associated with a color. The length
of a color bar correlates to the percentage that the property value holds in
comparison with all other values for the property.
