Amazon launches Lookout for Metrics, an AWS service to monitor business performance

Amazon today announced the general availability of Lookout for Metrics, a fully managed service that uses machine learning to monitor key factors impacting the health of enterprises. Launched at re:Invent 2020 last December in preview, Lookout for Metrics can now be accessed by most Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers via the AWS console and through supporting partners. Organizations analyze metrics or key performance indicators to help their businesses run effectively and efficiently. Traditionally, business intelligence tools are used to manage this data across disparate sources, but identifying these anomalies is challenging. Traditional rule-based methods look for data that falls outside of numerical ranges.
