Clarifying Anomaly Alert Range Timing: Daily Specificity?

Jorge C. · 2025-06-02T16:40:20.761624+00:00

When an anomaly alert triggers, it provides a range of expected values. Is the range that it provides specifically for the day the alert triggered?

Yes, when an anomaly alert triggers in Mixpanel, the expected value range provided is specifically for the data point (e.g., the day or time interval) when the alert was triggered. The Anomaly Detection feature uses forecasting algorithms to calculate an expected range (confidence interval) for each data point in your time series. If the actual value for that specific interval falls outside this calculated range, the alert is triggered and the expected range for that interval is shown in the alert message. This allows you to see how the observed value compares to what was forecasted for that particular day or time period Alert Criteria Types Additional information.
