Anomalies
Overview
Cased makes it easy to discover and understand anomalies that occur after you deploy
Introduction
Cased’s anomaly detection system helps you discover, understand, and respond to issues that occur after deployments. By connecting to your existing monitoring tools, Cased automatically identifies problems and correlates them with recent changes in your system.
Key Features
1. Automatic Detection
- Continuous monitoring of your applications
- Integration with multiple data sources (Sentry, Datadog, AWS CloudWatch)
- Real-time analysis of error patterns and performance metrics
- Configurable thresholds for different types of anomalies
2. Deployment Correlation
- Automatic linking of issues to recent deployments
- Intelligent code analysis to identify probable causes
- Timeline visualization of issues relative to deployments
- Confidence scoring for correlations
3. Smart Notifications
- Real-time alerts for critical issues
- Configurable notification thresholds
- Integration with your existing communication tools
- Context-rich notifications with direct links to relevant information
4. Response Automation
- Auto-rollback suggestions for serious issues
- PagerDuty integration for incident management
- Quick actions for common response patterns
- Team collaboration tools
Getting Started
Type | Description |
---|---|
High Volume Errors | - Sudden spikes in error rates - Unusual patterns in error frequency - New types of errors appearing |
Performance Degradation | - Increased response times - Higher resource utilization - Slower database queries |
Infrastructure Issues | - Service health problems - Resource constraints - Network connectivity issues |
1. Connect Your Tools
Configure your monitoring sources in the Cased dashboard:
2. Set Up Thresholds
Define what constitutes an anomaly for your system:
Currently high volume anomalies are detected by default with the following thresholds:
Please reach out to support to customize thresholds.
