There are 2 modules in this course

This module lays the foundation for real-time monitoring by focusing on statistical methods. The learners will learn why static thresholds are insufficient for dynamic systems and how to implement robust techniques like Z-score and Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA) to detect significant outliers in continuous data streams. The module culminates in building a functional, off-platform monitoring script that can flag anomalies as they happen.

This module moves beyond simple statistical alerts to address complex, multi-dimensional anomalies. Learners will learn to use unsupervised models like Isolation Forest to detect subtle irregularities and, most importantly, to analyze the context surrounding an alert to differentiate a true, critical anomaly from benign data drift. The goal is to build intelligent monitoring systems that reduce false alarms and allow teams to focus on what matters.
