LUNA CONTROL CENTER: PRODUCT BRIEF
Adaptive Alerting
A smart insight into business trends
Nowadays, it is not only important to create great experiences when designing web pages and
applications, and to make these experiences fast, reliable and secure. But it is also essential to understand
the engagement and use of these applications. It becomes critical to detect any variation in the audience
metrics in real time, so that new business opportunities may be addressed quickly and potential issues
may be resolved faster.
Many organizations monitor the audience metrics and establish web alerts to detect deviations
from the average audience levels. Tools based on fixed thresholds are the most common approach.
However, setting fixed limits may be insufficient if the audience of a given application or site
experiences organic growth over time or responds to cyclic or periodic patterns. For example,
patterns occur between day and night or weekend to weekday, and levels that could be considered
as ‘regular’ during peak daytime may be abnormally high during night time, or even abnormally
low when compared year over year, if the normalized traffic has grown.
Adaptive Alerting
Adaptive Alerting, part of Luna Control Center, is a monitoring tool that analyzes historical
audience metrics and, through intelligent algorithms, projects the expected traffic and compares
this with actual traffic in real time. Adaptive Alerting can be set up to trigger adaptive web alerts
when current audience metrics goes above or below projected traffic, taking into consideration
accurate traffic patterns modeled based on historical data rather than static and fixed thresholds
that in some cases may not be relevant.

Adaptive Alerting
Capabilities
• Fully Automated: Adaptive Alerting can be configured to monitor part
or all of the traffic of a customer in an easy 3-step process. Automatically,
the predictive algorithms become active and will report anomalies based
on the comparison between actual traffic and patterns modeled based
on historical traffic.
• Self-adaptive Monitoring System: Adaptive Alerting can be
customized so the sensitivity and the forgiveness can match each
individual traffic conditions. The tool can also learn and be instructed
by the user to incorporate new events as part of the pattern.
• Integrated monitoring: As part of Luna Control Center, and mostly
in combination with Static Alerts, customers can scope every potential
scenario and maintain high control and visibility over web assets.
