Creating Anomaly Detection Report alerts
An Anomaly Detection report alert notifies the configured recipient list of significant changes reported in the selected Anomaly Detection report. Since an Anomaly Detection report may contain dimensional data, these alerts can be used to narrow the focus of an Anomaly Detection alert to only monitor significant changes or abnormal values appearing in the Anomaly Detection report.
- Anomaly Detections can be created to monitor deviations in event values or ratios of values. They can be configured in the Discover Event Manager. See Manage Events - Anomaly Detection Tab.
- To create an Anomaly Detection report alert, click the Alert tab in the Discover Event Manager. Then, select New Anomaly Detection Report Alert.... The following dialog is displayed.
The alert properties window for Anomaly Detection alerts is similar to the window for configuring event-based alerts. The following properties are specific to alerts of this type:
- Property
- Description
Anomaly Detection Report- Click to select the saved Anomaly Detection report that you want to monitor
through this alert.
- When an Anomaly Detection is selected, the Interval is taken from the interval that is defined for the Anomaly Detection. An interval setting for the alert is not separately available for user configuration.

- Alert blackout properties Note: For Anomaly Detection alerts, the blackout settings are applied based on when the data was acquired. For example, daily Anomaly Detections are calculated the day after acquisition, so the blackout periods are configured to apply to the previous date. Blackouts for hourly Anomaly Detections are similarly offset to the period when they were captured.
