Overview

Limited Availability

Anomaly Detection is currently in Limited Availability. Contact support@hydrolix.io to learn more about access.

Anomaly Detection is a Hydrolix feature that automatically identifies unusual patterns and behaviors in your high-volume log data, enabling faster incident detection and resolution.

What is anomaly detection?⚓︎

Anomaly Detection continuously analyzes your metrics and logs to identify deviations from normal patterns. The solution runs statistical analysis across your time-series data, detecting anomalies across multiple specified dimensions.

When an anomaly is detected, it's stored in dedicated tables and surfaced through pre-built Grafana dashboards, allowing you to investigate issues quickly.

Key benefits⚓︎

  • Faster incident detection: Automatically identify performance degradation, security threats, and service issues without manual monitoring.
  • Reduce alert fatigue: Focus on statistically significant anomalies rather than threshold-based alerts that may not adapt to changing baseline patterns.
  • Root cause identification: Provides LLM-powered correlation across multiple anomalies, natural language incident summaries, probable contributing factors identification, and recommended actions.
  • Easy integration: Works with your existing Hydrolix data and Grafana dashboards without additional infrastructure.
  • Multidimensional analysis: Detect anomalies across different dimensions simultaneously to understand which segments of your delivery pipeline are impacted.

Anomaly detection supports bring your own LLM (BYO LLM), allowing you to use your own AI model for root cause analysis.

Common Use Cases⚓︎

CDN Performance Monitoring⚓︎

Analyze performance across your content-delivery network (CDN) infrastructure:

  • Detect unusual cache hit/miss ratios that indicate caching problems
  • Identify unexpected egress patterns that may signal content delivery issues
  • Spot HTTP error rate spikes before they impact user experience
  • Monitor performance variations across different POPs, regions, and CDNs

Security Operations⚓︎

Enhance threat detection and response capabilities:

  • Identify abnormal traffic patterns that may indicate attacks
  • Detect geographic anomalies suggesting credential compromise
  • Spot rate-limiting triggers and unusual request patterns
