N of M parameters

N of M parameters are available for each of the four configurable analytics algorithms.

1. Threshold.

2. Baseline.

3. Dynamic Threshold.

4. Bounded Dynamic Threshold.

They restrict indicator An observed change in a specific metric stream that is recognized as being outside of an expected model. Indicators are correlated into triggers, and one or more triggers are grouped into incidents. production to only those times when the algorithm has seen anomalous behavior in N out of the last M observations.

Example: A threshold of 80% on inbound utilization with N of 4 and M of 5 means an inbound utilization above 80% must be seen in four of the last five observations for an indicator to be produced.
