This document discusses a proof of concept for an anomaly and prediction engine. It begins with an agenda and overview of the POC demo. It then describes the system configuration, including the parallel distributed processing platform used. Examples are given of how this platform can be used for batch processing of log files and real-time stream processing of server metrics. Problems identified with the POC include the need for data collection labor and difficulty reusing analytics experiences. The document proposes that integrating with Monasca could help solve these problems by standardizing data collection and format. It concludes by outlining current concerns like performance and technology evolution, and an approach to further develop the anomaly detection engine by revising the prototype to use Monasca.
