Number of anolalies chart

This chart shows anomalies (outliers) for the most recent data point in the time series. When expanded, it displays the following components:

  • Anomalies – The middle of the screen displays the anomalies for the most recent data point in the time series. One or more graphs appear with a chart showing variations in a metric over time. To use this graph, select a point along the timeline. The currently selected point in time is highlighted in the graph, and includes a menu offering you the option to analyze contributions to the current metric. You can also drag the cursor over the timeline without choosing a specific point to display the metric value for that point in time.

  • Anomalies by date – If you choose SHOW ANOMALIES BY DATE, another graph appears that shows how many significant anomalies there were for each time point. You can see details in this chart on each bar's context menu.

  • Timeline adjustment – Each graph has a timeline adjustor tool below the dates, which you can use to compress, expand, or choose a period of time to view.
