Computing systems and methods for creating and executing user-defined anomaly detection rules and generating notifications for detected anomalies

Abstract

A computing platform may be installed with software technology for creating and executing user-defined anomaly detection rules that configures the computing platform to: (1) receive, from a client device, data defining a given anomaly detection rule that has been created by a user, wherein the given anomaly detection rule comprises at least one anomaly condition that is to be applied to at least one streaming event queue, (2) store a data representation of the given anomaly detection rule in a data store, (3) convert the data representation of the given anomaly detection rule to a streaming query statement, (4) iteratively apply the streaming query statement to the at least one streaming event queue, and (5) while iteratively applying the streaming query statement, make at least one determination that the at least one anomaly condition is satisfied and then cause at least one anomaly notification to be issued to the user.
