Forecasting

Forecasting creates smarter alerting. It learns a metric’s past pattern and projects its future values. When the forecast shows the metric is on track to cross a limit, an alert fires before you actually hit it.

The outcome is:

  • Early detection of issues before they become real problems
  • Capacity planning based on data instead of guesswork
