azure-ai-anomalydetector 3.0.0b6

Description:

azureaianomalydetector 3.0.0b6

Cognitive Services Anomaly Detector client library for Python
Anomaly Detector is an AI service with a set of APIs, which enables you to monitor and detect anomalies in your time series data with little machine learning (ML) knowledge, either batch validation or real-time inference.
Getting started
Prerequisites

Python 3.7 or later is required to use this package.
You need an Azure subscription to use this package.
An existing Cognitive Services Anomaly Detector instance.

Install the package
python -m pip install azure-ai-anomalydetector


Note: This version of the client library defaults to the 3.0.0b6 version of the service.

This table shows the relationship between SDK versions and supported API versions of the service:



SDK version
Supported API version of service




3.0.0b6
1.1


3.0.0b4, 3.0.0b5
1.1-preview-1


3.0.0b3
1.1-preview


3.0.0b1, 3.0.0b2

Authenticate the client
Get the endpoint
You can find the endpoint for your Anomaly Detector service resource using the
Azure Portal
or Azure CLI:
# Get the endpoint for the Anomaly Detector service resource
az cognitiveservices account show --name "resource-name" --resource-group "resource-group-name" --query "properties.endpoint"

Get the API Key
You can get the API Key from the Anomaly Detector service resource in the Azure Portal.
Alternatively, you can use Azure CLI snippet below to get the API key of your resource.
az cognitiveservices account keys list --resource-group <your-resource-group-name> --name <your-resource-name>

Create a AnomalyDetectorClient with an API Key Credential
Once you have the value for the API key, you can pass it as a string into an instance of AzureKeyCredential. Use the key as the credential parameter
to authenticate the client:
from azure.core.credentials import AzureKeyCredential
from azure.ai.anomalydetector import AnomalyDetectorClient

credential = AzureKeyCredential("<api_key>")
client = AnomalyDetectorClient(endpoint="https://<resource-name>.cognitiveservices.azure.com/", credential=credential)

Key concepts
With the Anomaly Detector, you can either detect anomalies in one variable using Univariate Anomaly Detection, or detect anomalies in multiple variables with Multivariate Anomaly Detection.



Feature
Description




Univariate Anomaly Detection
Detect anomalies in one variable, like revenue, cost, etc. The model was selected automatically based on your data pattern.


Multivariate Anomaly Detection
Detect anomalies in multiple variables with correlations, which are usually gathered from equipment or other complex system. The underlying model used is Graph attention network.



Univariate Anomaly Detection
The Univariate Anomaly Detection API enables you to monitor and detect abnormalities in your time series data without having to know machine learning. The algorithms adapt by automatically identifying and applying the best-fitting models to your data, regardless of industry, scenario, or data volume. Using your time series data, the API determines boundaries for anomaly detection, expected values, and which data points are anomalies.
Using the Anomaly Detector doesn't require any prior experience in machine learning, and the REST API enables you to easily integrate the service into your applications and processes.
With the Univariate Anomaly Detection, you can automatically detect anomalies throughout your time series data, or as they occur in real-time.



Feature
Description




Streaming detection
Detect anomalies in your streaming data by using previously seen data points to determine if your latest one is an anomaly. This operation generates a model using the data points you send, and determines if the target point is an anomaly. By calling the API with each new data point you generate, you can monitor your data as it's created.


Batch detection
Use your time series to detect any anomalies that might exist throughout your data. This operation generates a model using your entire time series data, with each point analyzed with the same model.


Change points detection
Use your time series to detect any trend change points that exist in your data. This operation generates a model using your entire time series data, with each point analyzed with the same model.



Multivariate Anomaly Detection
The Multivariate Anomaly Detection APIs further enable developers by easily integrating advanced AI for detecting anomalies from groups of metrics, without the need for machine learning knowledge or labeled data. Dependencies and inter-correlations between up to 300 different signals are now automatically counted as key factors. This new capability helps you to proactively protect your complex systems such as software applications, servers, factory machines, spacecraft, or even your business, from failures.
With the Multivariate Anomaly Detection, you can automatically detect anomalies throughout your time series data, or as they occur in real-time. There are three processes to use Multivariate Anomaly Detection.

Training: Use Train Model API to create and train a model, then use Get Model Status API to get the status and model metadata.
Inference:

Use Async Inference API to trigger an asynchronous inference process and use Get Inference results API to get detection results on a batch of data.
You could also use Sync Inference API to trigger a detection on one timestamp every time.


Other operations: List Model API and Delete Model API are supported in Multivariate Anomaly Detection model for model management.

Thread safety
We guarantee that all client instance methods are thread-safe and independent of each other (guideline). This ensures that the recommendation of reusing client instances is always safe, even across threads.

Troubleshooting
General
Anomaly Detector client library will raise exceptions defined in Azure Core.
Logging
This library uses the standard logging library for logging.
Basic information about HTTP sessions (URLs, headers, etc.) is logged at INFO level.
Detailed DEBUG level logging, including request/response bodies and unredacted
headers, can be enabled on the client or per-operation with the logging_enable keyword argument.
See full SDK logging documentation with examples here.
Optional Configuration
Optional keyword arguments can be passed in at the client and per-operation level.
The azure-core reference documentation describes available configurations for retries, logging, transport protocols, and more.
