+

+changed or removed in a future release. Elastic will work to fix any
+issues, but features in technical preview are not subject to the support
+SLA of official GA features.

+
+
+The `CHANGE_POINT` processing command detects spikes, dips, and change points in a metric.
+
+**Syntax**
+
+```esql
+CHANGE_POINT value [ON key] [AS type_name, pvalue_name]
+```
+
+**Parameters**
+
+`value`
+:   The column with the metric in which you want to detect a change point.
+
+`key`
+:   The column with the key to order the values by. If not specified, `@timestamp` is used.
+
+`type_name`
+:   The name of the output column with the change point type. If not specified, `type` is used.
+
+`pvalue_name`
+:   The name of the output column with the p-value that indicates how extreme the change point is. If not specified, `pvalue` is used.
+
+**Description**
+
+`CHANGE_POINT` detects spikes, dips, and change points in a metric. The command adds columns to
+the table with the change point type and p-value, that indicates how extreme the change point is
+(lower values indicate greater changes).
+
+The possible change point types are:
+* `dip`: a significant dip occurs at this change point
+* `distribution_change`: the overall distribution of the values has changed significantly
+* `spike`: a significant spike occurs at this point
+* `step_change`: the change indicates a statistically significant step up or down in value distribution
+* `trend_change`: there is an overall trend change occurring at this point
+
+::::{note}
+There must be at least 22 values for change point detection. Fewer than 1,000 is preferred.
