# Monitoring

There are 2 models to monitor VictoriaMetrics Anomaly Detection behavior - [push](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#push-model) and [pull](https://docs.victoriametrics.com/keyConcepts.html#pull-model). Parameters for each of them should be specified in the config file, `monitoring` section.
