Methods and systems for detecting systemwide service issues by using anomaly localization. In an example, a method includes receiving time-series monitoring data for multiple services, the time-series monitoring data including multiple dimensions and an error metric; for the monitoring data from each service, evaluating scopes within the monitoring data based on an objective function for a time-series of the error metric to identify at least one anomalous scope, each scope including at least one dimension and a value for the dimension; based on evaluating the scopes, generating a ranked list of scopes for each service based on objective function scores for the scopes; correlating the ranked lists of scopes across the multiple services to identify a cross-service anomaly; and generating an alert for the services based on the cross-service anomaly, the alert indicating at least one scope as a potential root cause for the cross-service anomaly.
