Overview

What Is Amazon Lookout for Metrics?

Organizations in data-rich, highly dynamic industries such as e-commerce, gaming, adtech, and telco are moving away from manual tracking of outliers and anomalies in business and operational data. Manually configured rules are no longer sustainable at scale, and legacy approaches to data monitoring rarely uncover the underlying cause of an outlier in time to act on it.

Amazon Lookout for Metrics is a fully managed machine learning service that makes it easy for businesses to more efficiently detect outliers in business and operational data, identify their root causes, and act on them quickly. By automating the detection workflow end to end, the service helps organizations turn anomalies into actionable insights with less engineering overhead.

Process

How It Works

With real-time data ingested to Amazon Lookout for Metrics, the service automatically selects the ML algorithm, called a detector, that best fits your data and use case, and starts detecting outliers based on chosen KPIs. If an outlier is detected, it is ranked by severity, and notification is sent. You can provide feedback on outliers to keep improving the model.
