Outlier monitors are functionally similar to Log Anomaly monitors but tend to generate more noise. From a data usage perspective, anomaly monitors are more cost-effective.

To reduce data usage and alert frequency, you can convert an existing outlier monitor to an anomaly-based monitor by clicking **Convert to Anomaly**. This action will open a popup with the detection method preset to **Anomaly**, and you can adjust other monitor configuration settings as needed. You’ll then have the option to either disable the original outlier monitor or keep it active.<br/><img src={useBaseUrl('img/alerts/monitors/convert-to-anomaly.png')} alt="convert-to-anomaly" width="600"/>
