Overview of this book

Elastic Stack, previously known as the ELK stack, is a log analysis solution that helps users ingest, process, and analyze search data effectively. With the addition of machine learning, a key commercial feature, the Elastic Stack makes this process even more efficient. This updated second edition of Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack provides a comprehensive overview of Elastic Stack's machine learning features for both time series data analysis as well as for classification, regression, and outlier detection. The book starts by explaining machine learning concepts in an intuitive way. You'll then perform time series analysis on different types of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the chapters, you'll deploy machine learning within Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. Finally, you'll discover how data frame analysis opens up a whole new set of use cases that machine learning can help you with. By the end of this Elastic Stack book, you'll have hands-on machine learning and Elastic Stack experience, along with the knowledge you need to incorporate machine learning in your distributed search and data analysis platform.

Dissecting the detector

At the heart of the anomaly detection job are the analysis configuration and the detector. The detector has several key components to it:

  • The function
  • The field
  • The partition field
  • The by field
  • The over field

We will go through each in turn to fully understand them all. Note that in the next few sections, however, we will often refer to the actual names of settings within the job configuration as if we were using the advanced job editor or the API. Although it is good to fully understand the nomenclature, as you progress through this chapter you will also notice that many of the details of the job configuration are abstracted away from the user or are given more "UI-friendly" labels than the real setting names.

The function

The detector function describes how the data will be aggregated or measured within the analysis interval (bucket span). There are many functions, but they can be classified into the following...
