To create an anomaly detection model

The following put-anomaly-detector example creates an anomaly detection model for a CloudWatch metric.

aws cloudwatch put-anomaly-detector \
    --namespace AWS/Logs \
    --metric-name IncomingBytes \
    --stat SampleCount

This command produces no output.

For more information, see Using CloudWatch anomaly detection in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide.
