US Patent 11875032 Detecting anomalies in key performance indicator values

Techniques are disclosed for anomaly detection based on a predicted value. A search query can be executed over a period of time to produce values for a key performance indicator (KPI), the search query defining the KPI and deriving a value indicative of the performance of a service at a point in time or during a period of time, the value derived from machine data pertaining to one or more entities that provide the service. A graphical user interface (GUI) enabling a user to indicate a sensitivity setting can be displayed. A user input indicating the sensitivity setting can be received via the GUI. Zero or more of the values as anomalies can be identified in consideration of the sensitivity setting indicated by the user input.
