I looked at the demo of multi-series anomaly detection in X-Pack, and it's really cool. But I want to use it on my own data that does not come from ElasticSearch. I don't suppose that this is supported, but want to ask anyway. And even if it is not supported, I want to know if the code for performing the detection is open source by any chance and I could adapt it to my data?

Indeed. Not supported. You must index data into elasticsearch. There are tons of connectors to do that easily. Have a look at logstash for example.

No. It's not.

Actually you can post your data to the machine learning engine. Read here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ml-api-job-endpoint.html#ml-post-data](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ml-api-job-endpoint.html#ml-post-data)
