VictoriaMetrics/docs/anomaly-detection/README.md

In the dynamic and complex world of system monitoring, VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection, being a part of our [Enterprise offering](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/), stands as a pivotal tool for achieving advanced observability. It empowers SREs and DevOps teams by automating the intricate task of identifying abnormal behavior in time-series data. It goes beyond traditional threshold-based alerting, utilizing machine learning techniques to not only detect anomalies but also minimize false positives, thus reducing alert fatigue. By providing simplified alerting mechanisms atop of [unified anomaly scores](./components/models.md#vmanomaly-output), it enables teams to spot and address potential issues faster, ensuring system reliability and operational efficiency.

## Practical Guides and Installation
Begin your VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection journey with ease using our guides and installation instructions:

- **Quickstart**: Check out how to get `vmanomaly` up and running [here](./QuickStart.md).
- **Overview**: Find out how `vmanomaly` service operates [here](./Overview.md)
- **Integration**: Integrate anomaly detection into your observability ecosystem. Get started [here](./guides/guide-vmanomaly-vmalert/README.md).
- **Anomaly Detection Presets**: Enable anomaly detection on predefined set of indicators, that require frequently changing static thresholds for alerting. Find more information [here](./Presets.md).

- **Installation Options**: Select the method that aligns with your technical requirements:
    - **Docker Installation**: Suitable for containerized environments. See [Docker guide](./Overview.md#run-vmanomaly-docker-container).
    - **Helm Chart Installation**: Appropriate for those using Kubernetes. See our [Helm charts](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/tree/master/charts/victoria-metrics-anomaly).


> **Note**: starting from [v1.5.0](./CHANGELOG.md#v150) `vmanomaly` requires a [license key](./Overview.md#licensing) to run. You can obtain a trial license key [**here**](https://victoriametrics.com/products/enterprise/trial/).
