AWS AmazonCloudWatch documentation change

Service: AmazonCloudWatch · 2026-03-13 · Documentation low

File: AmazonCloudWatch/latest/monitoring/appinsights-tutorial-sap-hana.md

Summary

Updated multiple instances of 'outlier detection' to 'anomaly detection' in titles, navigation, feature descriptions, and explanatory text.

Security assessment

This is a widespread terminology update. The change describes the same machine learning-based monitoring feature with updated naming. No security vulnerability or new security feature is mentioned.

-For specific SAP HANA metrics, such as the number of thread count, CloudWatch applies statistical and machine learning algorithms to define the threshold. These algorithms continuously analyze the metrics of the SAP HANA database, determine normal baselines, and surface anomalies with minimal user intervention. The algorithms generate an outlier detection model, which generates a range of expected values that represent normal metric behavior.

-After you create a model, CloudWatch outlier detection continuously evaluates the model and makes adjustments to it to ensure that is it as accurate as possible. This includes retraining the model to adjust if the metric values evolve over time or experience sudden changes. It also includes predictors to improve the models for metrics that are seasonal, spiky, or sparse.
