When you create a monitor and open the metrics search query in the Metrics Explorer, the signal gets a new value for the [`quantize`](/docs/metrics/metrics-operators/quantize/) operator based on the time range of the query. The default value for the `quantize` operator is `1m`. Because opening the query in Metrics Explorer may not match because of quantization differences, you may need to adjust the query to return the results you expect, especially when creating a monitor that uses the [anomaly detection method](#detection-method).<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/alerts/monitors/metrics-query-with-quantize.png')} alt="Metrics query with quantize" style={{border: '1px solid gray'}} width="600"/>

Detect unusual changes or spikes in a time series of a key indicator. Use this detection method when you are alerting on KPIs that don't have well-defined constant thresholds for what's good and bad. You want the monitor to automatically detect and alert on unusual changes or spikes on the alerting query. For example, application KPIs like page request, throughput, and latency.
