About shape correlation

  Shape correlation is available only for technology preview, not for production usage.

Provide a metric and pattern to the shape correlation algorithm, and it can search whether another metric shows a similar metric pattern.

Enabling shape correlation

Enable the shape correlation algorithm by creating a policy.

  1. In IBM Cloud Pak® for AIOps, select Automations and then Create policy.
  2. In Policy templates, select the Group alerts based on scope template and click Create.
  3. From the Policy details section, enter a Policy name.
  4. From the Condition sets section, click Add condition and select Alert property. An alert property condition is added.
  5. Select AND so that the alerts are grouped when all the conditions are met.
  6. Enter the following values for the alert property condition:
    • Set the Property field to Value of: alert.sender.name.
    • Set the Operator field to contains.
    • Set the Matches field to only.
    • Set the Value field to String: anomaly-detection.
  7. In the Create a scope-based grouping section, set the ScopeID to Value of: alert.sender.sourceId.
  8. Click Create policy. The shape correlation algorithm is enabled.

Create a policy with the appropriate values to enable shape correlation.
