Amazon QuickSight – Dashboard Anomaly Alerts
Sign up for anomaly alerts
On a dashboard with a narrative insight configured for anomaly detection, you can sign up to get alerts for anomalies and contribution analysis. Anomaly alerts are sent when anomalies are updated. According to your personal alert configuration, the alerts email displays the total number of anomalies and the top five. If the contribution analysis is configured to run with anomaly detection, you will receive key driver contribution analysis when it is updated.
To set up anomaly alerts
- Open a dashboard that is shared with you.
- Two screens are available for configuring alerts. Go to the next step by choosing one of the following:
- Locate the anomaly widget in the dashboard. Select it so that it has a highlighted box around it.
- The alert can be configured without returning to the dashboard view if you have the Explore Anomalies page open.
- Choose Configure alerts from the upper right corner. You will see the Alert configuration screen.
- Choose the lowest level of significance for Severity. Select whether you want to receive alerts about anomalies that are higher or lower than expected. If you want to receive alerts about all anomalies, you can select [ALL].
- Choose OK to confirm your choices.
- Locate the anomaly widget in the dashboard to unsubscribe from anomaly alerts and click the bell icon. You will find a link to manage this alert at the bottom of an alert email.
