While many companies embrace a literal eyes-on approach to monitoring their vitals, it’s easy to run out of eyeballs fast as the organization grows. Manually reviewing plots of time series data for anomalies, while manageable for small company with a few dozen metrics, is surely better than no KPI monitoring at all, but even small teams realize that this approach is costly, incurs inherent delays and can’t scale as the company (and number of metrics) grows.
