About the Dynamic Thresholds app

The Dynamic Thresholds app is designed to help you monitor your systems more intelligently and reduce alert fatigue. Traditional static thresholds often generate unnecessary alerts when normal fluctuations occur, overwhelming teams and diverting attention from real issues. In contrast, the Dynamic Thresholds app provides adaptive, data-driven anomaly detection by learning from historical data and automatically adjusting to expected behavior. This ensures that alerts focus on statistically significant deviations, allowing you to respond only to genuine anomalies.

Use the Dynamic Thresholds app to set up and manage dynamic thresholds for various metrics. The app leverages a deviation model that learns the historical behavior of your metrics, automatically establishing and adjusting flexible upper and lower boundaries.

The app also offers:

Dynamic Thresholds main screen

From the app’s main screen, you can:

Define a new dynamic threshold configuration Copied

Dry run results Copied

Once a metric is selected, a chart is automatically generated on the right-hand side of the screen. This chart shows the metrics and thresholds for any matching entity within the last 24 hours.

Use this chart to preview the behavior of your dynamic threshold configuration. Changing the selected metric or adjusting the thresholds and training window sliders will automatically update the chart.

Note

Toggle the Use raw values button if you want the chart to display the metric line using raw data instead of downsample data. Raw values can only be viewed while editing a configuration and will not persist upon saving.

Click Analyse Results to simulate the configuration for matching entities.

Dynamic Thresholds dry run results

The Dry Run Results table gives you an overview of how the configuration impacts most entities. Click on a row to preview the dynamic threshold behavior for a specific entity. You can then adjust your configuration based on these results.

After adjusting your configuration, a banner will appear indicating that the results are no longer valid. Click Refresh Results to show the updated results based on the new configuration.
