[Internal]: Anomaly Detection: Alerting rule filtering #4145

@rbrtj

Description

@rbrtj

Description

The feature will be available in the 9.3 release or in the next serverless deployment (approximately December 8th, 2025).

We're introducing a new Anomaly Detection alerting rule filtering feature that enables users to filter their alerts, providing a more granular way to reduce alert noise.
Users can define a KQL query, with autosuggestion support for the most relevant fields. The KQL bar is available only for Record/Influencer result types, as the Bucket result type does not expose meaningful fields to filter on. The filter is applied when fetching anomalies during rule execution, allowing users to:

  • Alert only when any partitioning fields (partition_field, by_field or over_field) in the anomalies match a condition.
  • Alert only when any influencers fields in the anomalies match a condition
  • Provide alerting conditions based on actual or typical values with support for comparison operators (>, <, =, etc.)
