Configuring and refining monitoring of data in your environment

Now that we have had a chance to look at what the Async and Sync APIs offer in the way of anomaly detection and the differences between the Univariate and Multivariate services, let’s look at how to put this detailed understanding of the APIs into practice.

In the example we built for later in this chapter, you will find that we wanted to provide a simple example of how to send data from our freezer into Azure to leverage the service using an Event Hub. If we did not have the option to send the data to the cloud because of security reasons, or unavailability of internet connectivity, we could have used the Univariate service in a Docker container deployed to an IoT device. This could present other challenges for how to report on the anomalies and trend analysis but could be handled with other Microsoft products that can still be deployed on-premises, such as Power BI Report Server. Currently, only the Univariate...
