    Anomaly

    This card illustrates the anomalous activity that led to the alert.

    • The blue line shows the recent anomalous activity.
    • On some charts, the lightly shaded area indicates the expected (learned baseline) behavior.

      A peach-shaded area represents the baseline values for the same hour one day earlier. A pink-shaded area shows the values for the same period in the previous week.

    In this example, the peach-shaded area shows the data for the same hour one day earlier. The drop in the metric value (events per minute) is clearly visible.

    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.
