Hi all,

I am doing a POC right now - still starting out exploring Elastic so apologies if some questions are too basic.

We currently have a dashboard that counts the number of incidents per day. They've also implemented a Watcher that dynamically sets the threshold (based on the 7 day average, I think).

However, we're trying to find a better way of doing so. I've found the anomaly detection functionality, but I'm wondering if there is a way for me to be able to integrate it with Watcher so that we could have a dynamically-set threshold (Upper and Lower Limit) on a per day level based on patterns found by the anomaly detection tool.

Thank you so much for your help!
