Anomaly Detector v1.1-preview.1

The Anomaly Detection service detects anomalies automatically in time series data. It supports several functionalities, one is for detecting anomalies in single time-series, including entire, last and change point detection. The other is detecting anomalies in multiple time-series. With univariate anomaly detection ability, business customers can discover incidents and establish a logic flow for root cause analysis. The multivariate anomaly detection APIs in Anomaly Detector analyze dependencies and inter-correlations between different signals. It enables customers to gather a group of related time-series and detect failures with a wholistic view. To ensure online service quality is one of the main reasons we developed this service. Our team is dedicated to continuing to improve the anomaly detection service to provide precise results.

This Multivariate Anomaly Detection is currently available in:
