When you want to spot hosts, applications, containers, plant equipment, or sensors that are behaving differently from others, you can use the Median Absolute Deviation (MAD) algorithm to identify when a time series is “deviating from the pack”. In this tutorial, we’ll identify anomalous hosts using mad() — the Flux implementation of MAD — from a Third Party Flux Package called anaisdg/anomalydetection…
