Anomify AI – Anomaly Detection and Alerting

The Anomify plugin sends selected performance metrics about your WordPress site to the Anomify.ai service for anomaly detection and alerting.

After ingesting data we learn normal patterns, detect any unusual behaviour, alert on anomalies in real time, and constantly feed back to improve the model.

You will need to obtain an API key and data URL from Anomify AI before the plugin can be enabled. Anomify has a free Developer account which allows up to 100 metrics.

Intro

Anomify AI is a UK based anomaly detection company for real time time-series data. Using machine learning and multi-stage analysis we enable organisations to react quickly to the changing health of their data at scale.

We provide a cost-effective anomaly detection solution, which can be deployed flexibly via the cloud or on-premise.

Anomify employs a semi-supervised system model that allows domain experts to directly train the system and continually improve its performance and usefulness.

Native Metrics

• content.comment.added.{approved|not-approved|spam}
• content.{post_id}.deleted
• content.{post_id}.updated
• content.{post_type}.status.transition.{new_status}
• login.fail
• login.success
• php.exception

Integration with other WordPress plugins

Anomify can integrate with certain other plugins to send metrics describing their performance to Anomify which wll automatically detect anomalies.

The Anomify WordPress plugin can detect anomalies on metrics generated from certain other plugins.

To enable a third-party plugin integration, first install and activate the plugin, then enable it from the Anomify plugin settings page. All plugin integrations are disabled by default.

Metrics generated from plugins are automatically prefixed with “plugin.{plugin_name}.” e.g. “plugin.woocommerce.”.

These integrations are works in progress. If you find them useful, please let us know as it will help us to prioritise further development.

WP Statistics

• exclusion.$exclusion_reason – number of requests which are excluded from visit counts due to $exclusion_reason e.g. “robot”

Metrics from this plugin are prefixed with “plugin.wp-statistics”, e.g. “plugin.wp-statistics.visitor.new”

WooCommerce

Plugin page

Metrics that Anomify will collect:

• cart.added
• cart.emptied
• cart.updated
• customer.created
• customer.deleted
• customer.password.reset
• order.cancelled
• order.created
• payment.complete

Metrics from this plugin are prefixed with “plugin.woocommerce”, e.g. “plugin.woocommerce.payment.complete”

For plugin developers

If you want to send metrics from your own plugin, install the Anomify plugin, and use the following syntax in your own code:

do_action('anomify_increment_plugin_metric', 'my.metric.name');

Or to increment the metric by a value other than 1, e.g. 5, add an optional third parameter:

do_action('anomify_increment_plugin_metric', 'my.metric.name', 5);

The name of your plugin will be automatically prepended to the metric name so you don’t need to include it in the name that you pass.
