Which of the following is an adaptive threshold best practice?

Question

Options

• AUse if there is no consistent flow of data.
• BDisable backfill on adaptive threshold data.
• CUse when KPI values are expected to move dynamically.
• DUpdate adaptive threshold values manually each day at midnight.

• A
  4% (1)
• C
  92% (22)
• D
  4% (1)

Explanation

Adaptive thresholds are designed to automatically adjust to changing patterns in data, making them ideal when KPI values are expected to shift dynamically over time - they "adapt" rather than relying on a fixed baseline. Option A is wrong because adaptive thresholds actually require a consistent flow of data to learn patterns; without it, there's nothing to adapt to. Option B is wrong because backfill is typically recommended with adaptive thresholds to give the algorithm enough historical data to establish a meaningful baseline. Option D is wrong because the entire point of adaptive thresholds is to eliminate manual updates - manually setting values at midnight defeats the purpose and describes a static threshold workflow.

Memory tip: Think "adaptive = automatic adjustment for dynamic data." If the data moves around naturally (seasonal trends, business growth), let the threshold adapt with it. Static thresholds are for stable, predictable KPIs; adaptive thresholds are for the rest.
