Claim One:
1. A system to detect anomalies in performance or operation of a virtual machine instance configured to perform a set of tasks, the system comprising: one or more processors; and memory storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising: determining first baseline data includes a first predetermined amount of historical data during a first interval; analyzing, using a machine learning engine, the first baseline data to identify candidate parameters; selecting at least a portion of the candidate parameters as custom parameters, wherein the custom parameters include technical parameters used across different operations and operational parameters that are unique to the set of tasks performed by the virtual machine instance; determining second baseline data includes a second predetermined amount of the historical data during a second interval that was identified as previously triggering a false positive alarm, the false positive alarm triggered based on solely monitoring at least some of the technical parameters of the second baseline data; determining, using the machine learning engine, weights for the custom parameters to apportion influence of the technical parameters and the operational parameters such that analysis of the second baseline data using the custom parameters and weights fails to trigger the false positive alarm; determining, based on analysis of first baseline data using the custom parameters and weights, baseline values for the custom parameters; determining, based on analysis of an interval of current data using the custom parameters and weights, current values for the custom parameters; and determining, based on a comparison of the current values for the custom parameters and baseline values for the custom parameters, to signal an alarm indicating detection of an anomaly in the performance or the operation of the virtual machine instance.
