Overview:

Skyline is a real time anomaly detection system. It was built to enable passive monitoring of hundreds of thousands of metrics, without the need to configure a model/thresholds for each one, as you might do with Nagios. It consists of two services: the Horizon agent, and the Analyzer agent. Horizon is responsible for listening for new datapoints and keeping the timeseries clean and up-to-date in Redis, and the Analyzer is responsible for analyzing every metric for anomalies.
