Standard deviation problem

[Alan_Home]

I was trying to find something to replace Sumologic's Outlier detection. I thought Standard Deviation might be the answer, but it doesn't look like it's doing what I would expect.

I am trying to find if something has a longer than usual execution time. I would expect to see my values be somewhat near the standard deviation, but instead it's just a line in the center. Is there a better thing I should be using for outlier detection?

Another way of dealing with this is to use a moving average, which is somewhat similar to what the other features are doing. Using a moving average I can see spikes:
