For SRE & platform teams
A threshold checked every 30 seconds isn't a monitor — it's a random false-alarm generator, and on-call knows it. So the pages get muted, and the real incident scrolls past at 2am. ValidAnytime is the trustworthy alarm layer: point it at any latency, error-rate, or availability stream you emit and get one alarm per real change, valid no matter how often it's evaluated, with a false-alarm budget across the whole fleet.

p99 latency crosses the line at 2:14am. On-call glances, mutters “it does that,” and snoozes it — because that alert has fired on nothing 40 times this month. This time it wasn't nothing. By 6am the quarter's error budget is gone. Nobody was negligent. The alarm had trained the team to ignore it, one false page at a time.
APM and dashboards are great at showing what happened — keep them. But a static threshold or a hand-tuned anomaly monitor evaluated every few seconds trips on healthy noise: check a fixed 5%-error test 5 times and the real false-positive rate is already ~23%; at 20 looks it passes 64%. Over a day of evaluations that's a certainty, multiplied across every service and SLO — alert fatigue by construction, with no global bound on false pages.
Send any numeric stream you already have — p99 latency, error rate, saturation, queue depth, availability — through one HTTP call or the SDK. Any numeric metric via the API; you don't route your whole APM through us.
Replay your history: the config has to stay quiet on your normal weeks and fire on the incident you already know about before it can page a human.
Anytime-valid e-detectors accumulate evidence; online FDR bounds false discoveries across every stream. When it fires, it's backed by evidence on a stated false-alarm budget — so on-call stops triaging noise and starts fixing things.
Drag the slider: the fixed threshold racks up more false alarms the more often you check; the evidence line doesn't. Or load a latency history into the browser demo and see whether — and at which point — it would have paged.
Fixed threshold — ≈ 7 false alarms
The more often you look, the more it cries wolf on stable noise.
ValidAnytime — 0 alert, 0 false
Watching — no evidence of a real change yet.
Roll 20 genuinely random healthy streams and watch nearly all of them stay quiet — the false-alarm bound, re-runnable yourself.
Illustrative run on a synthetic stream, scored by the same anytime-valid detector we run on your data. The metric labels above are just framing — the numbers and the detector’s behavior are identical. In onboarding, ValidAnytime replays your history and shows whether — and on which day — it would have caught your regression.
p99 latency — step + creep
Synthetic, illustrative — runs in your browser, nothing uploaded.

ValidAnytime is not an APM, a tracer, or a log platform, and we don't claim first-party integrations with them yet. The honest story today: you stream any numeric metric to the API, and your on-call flow reads the resulting alarms back from the API or SDK — webhook delivery is on the roadmap. Keep your dashboards for investigation; use ValidAnytime for the one thing they do badly: an alarm you can trust continuously, with a certificate on every fire.
Point ValidAnytime at one stream and it replays your own history — free, no credit card.
