Abstract

Anomaly detection in computing environments is disclosed herein. An example method includes receiving an unstructured input stream of data instances from the computing environment, the unstructured input stream being time stamped; categorizing the data instances of the unstructured input stream of data instances, the data instances comprising at least one principle value and a set of categorical attributes determined through machine learning; generating anomaly scores for each of the data instances collected over a period of time; and detecting a change in the categorical attribute that is indicative of an anomaly.
