Boost reliability for your business by detecting problems early

Easily embed time-series anomaly detection capabilities into your apps to help users identify problems quickly. AI Anomaly Detector ingests time-series data of all types and selects the best anomaly detection algorithm for your data to ensure high accuracy. Detect spikes, dips, deviations from cyclic patterns, and trend changes through both univariate and multivariate APIs. Customize the service to detect any level of anomaly. Deploy the anomaly detection service where you need it—in the cloud or at the intelligent edge.

Get helpful resources to learn how to build AI solutions in 30 days.
Powerful inference engine assesses your time-series dataset and automatically selects the right anomaly detection algorithm to maximize accuracy for your scenario.
Automatic detection eliminates the need for labeled training data to help you save time and stay focused on fixing problems as soon as they surface.
Customizable settings let you fine-tune sensitivity to potential anomalies based on the risk profile of your business.

Speed your time to insights

Fast-track your problem solving with simple setup in the Azure portal and real-time anomaly detection systems. All it takes is three lines of code.

A graph showing boundary, value and expected values for a data set
A graph showing temperature, pressure, vibration and velocity for a data set

Identify multivariate anomalies

Use multivariate anomaly detection to evaluate multiple signals and the correlations between them to find sudden changes in data patterns before they affect your business.

Frequently asked questions about AI Anomaly Detector

  • Please see regional availability of univariate anomaly detection feature. Multivariate anomaly detection (preview) feature is available in selected regions. Please check this document for details.

  • AI Anomaly Detector provides a 99.9 percent service-level agreement (SLA).

  • AI Anomaly Detector is comprised of simple REST APIs with a code-first experience. It's the core engine of Metrics Advisor that detects anomalies in time-series data. It's best applied for ad-hoc data analysis, and it can be run in containers. Metrics Advisor has additional time-series monitoring features, with pipeline APIs and a built-in user interface for managing the service. It's designed for live-streaming data and AI analytics, and it supports deploying in Azure.

  • It can vary depending on the level of accuracy and speed desired for your scenario. Read the best practices guide for more details.
