Configure Anomaly Detection

By default, Anomaly Detection alerts you about the anomalies found in all the business transactions, base pages, and network requests in your application. However, you can configure Anomaly Detection to surface only those anomalies within the combination of business transactions, base pages, or network requests, severity level, and detection sensitivity that you specify. Do this if you prefer to see fewer and more narrowly focused alerts:

- Warning

In Detection Sensitivity, select one of the following levels:


Sensitivity Level	Description
High	Use this level for business-critical services to ensure that no issue gets undetected in your environment. It triggers more alerts but with lower statistical confidence.
Medium	Use this level for services that are important to your business but not critical. By default, this sensitivity level is selected.
Low	Use this level for services that have low business impact and to avoid too many alerts.

If you want to test anomaly detection in a non-production environment, select Yes, turn on test mode.
Note: The test mode allows you to assess anomaly detection capabilities in non-production environments. In this mode, the anomaly detection accurately detects any performance issues even if metric data collection is low. You can use the test mode in your development or staging environments.
Click Save to complete the configuration.
