The more data Eyer observes, the most trustworthy the alerts become. For this reason we decided to introduce a multilevel flag that gives an indication on how confident one can be in an alert. The flag is calculated individually for every single time series/metric and it is propagated at the level of the alert as the mean of all the flags of the metrics involved in the alert.
Learning status on single metric:
5 - Not reliable data collection, not enough statistic
4 - Data interruption for at least 24 hours for HF and 48 hours for LF at the time of the last relearning (coming soon)
3 - We have collected enough data to start to see patterns for parts of the day, but there is noise for some of the hours.
2 - We have collected a good amount of data for parts of the day, but there is still noise for some of the hours.
1 - We have collected enough data to start to see patterns for the day.
0 - data collection is good for the day.
For the first few weeks all the metrics and the alerts will have flag 5, than most of the metrics should escalate to 1 and 0. Those metric that after one month are still in status 5 are to sparse to be analysed by out algorithm. These metrics can be a considerable source of noise. Our recommendation to filter out noisy alerts is to focus on alerts with learning status flag < 2.
