# Monitoring

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

> **Note**: There is a new label key `model_alias` introduced in multi-model support [v1.10.0](/anomaly-detection/changelog/#v1100). This label key adjustment was made to preserve unique label set production during writing produced metrics back to VictoriaMetrics.
