Introducing notifications for HTTP Traffic Anomalies
Cloudflare has introduced Traffic Anomalies notifications for its enterprise customers, which alert administrators when there are unexpected changes in traffic. These notifications can indicate a variety of issues and provide valuable insights into the health of internet properties. The system calculates anomalies using z-scores to compare current traffic with historical trends and triggers alerts when significant spikes or drops occur. Minimum thresholds prevent notifications for small fluctuations, ensuring that only significant changes trigger an alert.
