SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR ADAPTIVE THRESHOLD DETERMINATION FOR PERFORMANCE METRICS

摘要

A system and method for dynamically generating alarm thresholds for performance metrics, and for applying those thresholds to generate alarms is described. Statistical methods are used to generate one or more thresholds for metrics that may not fit a Gaussian or normal distribution, or that may exhibit cyclic behavior or persistent shifts in the values of the metrics. The statistical methods used to generate the thresholds may include statistical process control (SPC) methods, normalization methods, and heuristics.
