Getting started with StarTree ThirdEye on Free Tier

Getting started is simple. In just a few steps, you can onboard your data, set up alerts, and start identifying real-time anomalies. 

Step 1: Ingest your data

Use the StarTree Data Manager to easily connect and ingest data from sources like Kafka, S3, or other pipelines. Configure your ingestion, and your data is ready for anomaly detection.

Or, if bringing your own data is hard, use our one-click sample datasets that ingest and make data available in ThirdEye for you to use.

Step 2: Onboard your data to ThirdEye

Navigate to ThirdEye from your Free Trial and select the table to onboard from StarTree. 

Step 3: Create your alerts

Choose key metrics like web traffic, sales data, or system performance logs to monitor from your data. Pick from a wide variety of algorithms or use StarTree ThirdEye’s Algorithm Recommender to model your data and create alerts on your selected metrics and dimensions.

Step 4: Set up notifications

Create Subscription Groups to notify when your alerts detect anomalies in your data. StarTree ThirdEye supports Slack, Email, PagerDuty, and custom webhooks today.

Step 5: Monitor your data!

It’s that simple! StarTree ThirdEye will alert you when anomalies are detected. When you are notified of an issue, ThirdEye provides automatic root cause analysis (RCA) tools to drill down into your data and an Impact Dashboard to monitor your overall system health.

You can also follow our Getting Started with Free Tier Tutorial that will take you through the above steps with a sample dataset.

When to use StarTree ThirdEye on Free Tier

Imagine you’re a data engineer at a large e-commerce company and your team owns the data platform and data pipelines used across teams. Your team has been bogged down by firefighting downstream reporting issues caused by missing data in the data pipelines. 

With StarTree ThirdEye on Free Tier, you can easily ingest your data pipelines’ metadata to monitor anomalies in row counts for your pipelines. Almost immediately, ThirdEye detects a missing batch of records during ingestion and sends an alert. With StarTree ThirdEye’s automated root cause analysis tools, your team identifies a misconfigured upstream connector and resolves it quickly, preventing downstream reporting issues that would’ve normally taken a week to resolve.
