Causes

  • Alert preview is just an approximation count, which varies as the training data varies.
  • The preview is an approximation. The count can change as the lookback calculation changes.
  • Alerts are ephemeral.  An anomaly today may not be an anomaly when the data is re-evaluated a week from today based on math.
  • The forecasted boundaries and expected values change based on the time used as the basis of the evaluation.
