Hello,  
Kibana 6.8.0 and Elastic 6.8.0 here.  
Some machine learning job show points inside the model plot band as anomalies.  
Is this a normal behaviour or not?

In the attached image you can find an example of this behaviour.  
Thanks

@dantonag

Yes this is normal behavior. The anomaly point indicated was caused by our model comparing past behavior over various bucket lengths. This is shown by `+`.

A good explanation of Multi-Bucket Analysis can be read here in our blog [Elastic Machine Learning Anomaly Scoring in 6.5](https://www.elastic.co/blog/changes-to-elastic-machine-learning-anomaly-scoring-in-6-5)
