Abstract

An example embodiment may involve obtaining training time series data spanning an observation time window and comprising a series of values of a metric at regularly-spaced sample points in time, and analyzing the training time series data to determine one of a periodicity or a pseudo-periodicity across a plurality of consecutive sub-windows, each equal in size to a reference time period and each spanned by the same number N of sample points of metric values. A reference pattern corresponding to a model time series having no anomalies, as well as a reference threshold, may be determined and stored. Runtime time series data may then be obtained and time aligned with the reference pattern. Deviations between the runtime time series and the reference pattern may be identified as anomalies if they exceed the reference threshold. Identified anomalies may be displayed in a display device.
