Using Metric search to create a timeseries chart

Visualize a KPI, with or without an anomaly, in a timeseries chart.

About this task

Find a single KPI and plot it on a chart to monitor its activity over a number of days.

1. Click The navigation icon .
2. In the main navigation menu, click Metric search.
   
3. In the Metric search panel, refine your search to a single KPI by selecting from the Metric group, Metric, and Resource dropdown menus. The date that is selected represents the endpoint of the chart.
4. When you complete your selections, a timeseries chart is generated for the KPI.
   
   • The unbroken black line labeled with the name of the KPI (Metric + Resource) plotted on the chart represents the values of the selected KPI over time.
   • A green-shaded area (labeled Baseline) represents the acceptable operating range of that KPI.

   • A red-shaded area or red vertical line (labeled Anomaly) indicates where the KPI is anomalous: one or more of the anomaly detection algorithms determined the KPI was not behaving in accordance with the learned normal behavior.

   • A purple area in the chart (labeled Expected range), with a dashed line (labeled Forecast) indicates forecasted KPI anomalies.
