> **Important note: Users are strongly encouraged to upgrade to `vmanomaly` [v1.9.2](https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/victoriametrics/vmanomaly/tags?page=1&ordering=name) or later versions for optimal performance and accuracy. <br><br> This recommendation is crucial for configurations with a low `infer_every` parameter [in your scheduler](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/scheduler/#parameters-1), and in scenarios where data exhibits significant high-order seasonality patterns (such as hourly or daily cycles). Previous versions from v1.5.1 to v1.8.0 were identified to contain a critical issue impacting model training, where models were inadvertently trained on limited data subsets, leading to suboptimal fits, affecting the accuracy of anomaly detection. <br><br> Upgrading to v1.9.2 addresses this issue, ensuring proper model training and enhanced reliability. For users utilizing Helm charts, it is recommended to upgrade to version [1.0.0](https://github.com/VictoriaMetrics/helm-charts/blob/master/charts/victoria-metrics-anomaly/CHANGELOG.md#100).**
## v1.10.0
Released: 2024-02-15
- FEATURE: Multi-model support. Now users can specify multiple [model specs](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/) in a single config (via aliasing), as well as to reference what [queries from VmReader](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/reader/?highlight=queries#config-parameters) it should be run on.
- Introduction of `queries` arg in model spec:
- It allows the model to be executed only on a particular query subset from `reader` section.
- Passing an empty list or not specifying this param implies that each model is run on results from **all** queries, which is a backward-compatible behavior.
- Please find more details in docs on [Model section](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/#queries)
- DEPRECATION: slight refactor of a model config section
- Now models are passed as a mapping of `model_alias: model_spec` under [model](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/) sections. Using old format (<= [1.9.2](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/changelog/#v192)) will produce warnings for now and will be removed in future versions.
- Please find more details in docs on [Model section](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/)
- IMPROVEMENT: now logs from [`monitoring.pull`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/monitoring/#monitoring-section-config-example) GET requests to `/metrics` endpoint are shown only in DEBUG mode
- IMPROVEMENT: labelset for multivariate models is deduplicated and cleaned, resulting in better UX
> **Note**: These updates support more flexible setup and effective resource management in service, as now it's not longer needed to spawn several instances of `vmanomaly` to split queries/models context across.
## v1.9.2
Released: 2024-01-29
- BUGFIX: now multivariate models (like [`IsolationForestMultivariateModel`](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/models/#isolation-foresthttpsenwikipediaorgwikiisolation_forest-multivariate)) are properly handled throughout fit/infer phases.

This section describes `Models` component of VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection (or simply [`vmanomaly`](/anomaly-detection/overview.html)) and the guide of how to define a respective section of a config to launch the service.
vmanomaly includes various [built-in models](#built-in-models) and you can integrate your custom model with vmanomaly see [custom model](#custom-model-guide)
> **Note: Starting from [v1.10.0](/anomaly-detection/changelog#v1100) model section in config supports multiple models via aliasing. <br>Also, `vmanomaly` expects model section to be named `models`. Using old (flat) format with `model` key is deprecated and will be removed in future versions. Having `model` and `models` sections simultaneously in a config will result in only `models` being used:**

```
Old-style configs (< [1.10.0](/anomaly-detection/changelog#v1100) )
```yaml
model:
class: "model.zscore.ZscoreModel"
z_threshold: 2.5
# no explicit `queries` arg is provided
```

queries: ["q1", "q2", "q3"] # i.e., if your `queries` in `reader` section has exactly q1, q2, q3 aliases
```
## Common args
From [1.10.0](/anomaly-detection/changelog#1100), **common args**, supported by *every model (and model type)* were introduced.
### Queries
Introduced in [1.10.0](/anomaly-detection/changelog#1100), as a part to support multi-model configs, `queries` arg is meant to define [queries from VmReader](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/anomaly-detection/components/reader/?highlight=queries#config-parameters) particular model should be run on (meaning, all the series returned by each of these queries will be used in such model for fitting and inferencing).
`queries` arg is supported for all [the built-in](/anomaly-detection/components/models/#built-in-models) (as well as for [custom](/anomaly-detection/components/models/#custom-model-guide)) models.
This arg is **backward compatible** - if there is no explicit `queries` arg, then the model, defined in a config, will be run on ALL queries found in reader section:
```yaml
models:
model_alias_1:
...
# no explicit `queries` arg is provided
```
will be implicitly converted to
```yaml
models:
model_alias_1:
...
# queries arg is created and propagated with all query aliases found in `queries` arg of `reader` section
queries: ["q1", "q2", "q3"] # i.e., if your `queries` in `reader` section has exactly q1, q2, q3 aliases
```
## Model types
There are **2 model types**, supported in `vmanomaly`, resulting in **4 possible combinations**:
- [Univariate models](#univariate-models)
- [Multivariate models](#multivariate-models)
Each of these models can be
- [rolling](#rolling-models)
- [non-rolling](#non-rolling-models)
### Univariate Models
For a univariate type, **one separate model** is fit/used for inference per **each time series**, defined in its [queries](#queries) arg.
For example, if you have some **univariate** model, defined to use 3 [MetricQL queries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/), each returning 5 time series, there will be 3*5=15 models created in total. Each such model produce **individual [output](#vmanomaly-output)** for each of time series.
If during an inference, you got a series having **new labelset** (not present in any of fitted models), the inference will be skipped until you get a model, trained particularly for such labelset during forthcoming re-fit step.
**Implications:** Univariate models are a go-to default, when your queries returns **changing** amount of **individual** time series of **different** magnitude, [trend](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/victoriametrics-anomaly-detection-handbook-chapter-1/#trend) or [seasonality](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/victoriametrics-anomaly-detection-handbook-chapter-1/#seasonality), so you won't be mixing incompatible data with different behavior within a single fit model (context isolation).
**Examples:** [Prophet](#prophet), [Holt-Winters](#holt-winters)
<!-- TODO: add schema -->
### Multivariate Models
For a multivariate type, **one shared model** is fit/used for inference on **all time series** simultaneously, defined in its [queries](#queries) arg.
For example, if you have some **multivariate** model to use 3 [MetricQL queries](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/metricsql/), each returning 5 time series, there will be one shared model created in total. Once fit, this model will expect **exactly 15 time series with exact same labelsets as an input**. This model will produce **one shared [output](#vmanomaly-output)**.
If during an inference, you got a **different amount of series** or some series having a **new labelset** (not present in any of fitted models), the inference will be skipped until you get a model, trained particularly for such labelset during forthcoming re-fit step.
**Implications:** Multivariate models are a go-to default, when your queries returns **fixed** amount of **individual** time series (say, some aggregations), to be used for adding cross-series (and cross-query) context, useful for catching [collective anomalies](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/victoriametrics-anomaly-detection-handbook-chapter-2/index.html#collective-anomalies) or [novelties](https://victoriametrics.com/blog/victoriametrics-anomaly-detection-handbook-chapter-2/index.html#novelties) (expanded to multi-input scenario). For example, you may set it up for anomaly detection of CPU usage in different modes (`idle`, `user`, `system`, etc.) and use its cross-dependencies to detect **unseen (in fit data)** behavior.
**Examples:** [IsolationForest](#isolation-forest-multivariate)
<!-- TODO: add schema -->
### Rolling Models
A rolling model is a model that, once trained, **cannot be (naturally) used to make inference on data, not seen during its fit phase**.
An instance of rolling model is **simultaneously fit and used for inference** during its `infer` method call.
As a result, such model instances are **not stored** between consecutive re-fit calls (defined by `fit_every` [arg](/anomaly-detection/components/scheduler/?highlight=fit_every#periodic-scheduler) in `PeriodicScheduler`), leading to **lower RAM** consumption.
Such models put **more pressure** on your reader's source, i.e. if your model should be fit on large amount of data (say, 14 days with 1-minute resolution) and at the same time you have **frequent inference** (say, once per minute) on new chunks of data - that's because such models require (fit + infer) window of data to be fit first to be used later in each inference call.
> **Note**: Rolling models require `fit_every` to be set equal to `infer_every` in your [PeriodicScheduler](/anomaly-detection/components/scheduler/?highlight=fit_every#periodic-scheduler).
**Examples:** [RollingQuantile](#rolling-quantile)
<!-- TODO: add schema -->
### Non-Rolling Models
Everything that is not classified as [rolling](#rolling-models).
Produced models can be explicitly used to **infer on data, not seen during its fit phase**, thus, it **doesn't require re-fit procedure**.
Such models put **less pressure** on your reader's source, i.e. if you fit on large amount of data (say, 14 days with 1-minute resolution) but do it occasionally (say, once per day), at the same time you have **frequent inference**(say, once per minute) on new chunks of data
> **Note**: However, it's still highly recommended, to keep your model up-to-date with tendencies found in your data as it evolves in time.
Produced model instances are **stored in-memory** between consecutive re-fit calls (defined by `fit_every` [arg](/anomaly-detection/components/scheduler/?highlight=fit_every#periodic-scheduler) in `PeriodicScheduler`), leading to **higher RAM** consumption.
**Examples:** [Prophet](#prophet)

@ -132,7 +132,7 @@ Detailed parameters in each section:
* `fit_every` - Sets the frequency for retraining the models. A higher frequency ensures more updated models but requires more CPU resources. If omitted, models are retrained in each `infer_every` cycle. Format is similar to `infer_every`.
* `fit_window` - Defines the data interval for training the models. Longer intervals allow for capturing extensive historical behavior and better seasonal pattern detection but may slow down the model's response to permanent metric changes and increase resource consumption. A minimum of two full seasonal cycles is recommended. Example format: 3h for three hours of data.
* `model`
* `models`
* `class` - Specifies the model to be used. Options include custom models ([guide here](/anomaly-detection/components/models.html#custom-model-guide)) or a selection from [built-in models](/anomaly-detection/components/models.html#built-in-models), such as the [Facebook Prophet](/anomaly-detection/components/models.html#prophet) (`model.prophet.ProphetModel`).
* `args` - Model-specific parameters, formatted as a YAML dictionary in the `key: value` structure. Parameters available in [FB Prophet](https://facebook.github.io/prophet/docs/quick_start.html) can be used as an example.
