agent hallucinating seasonality period as 7 for hourly metric caused detector failure error

Not specified by the original author.

TL;DR

Fix this in the anomaly detector settings by acting on the exact message first: derive the seasonal period from the sampling interval, twenty four for an hourly series with a daily cycle, read the period from the detector config before each run, and flag any value that contradicts the interval. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

agent hallucinating seasonality period as 7 for hourly metric caused detector failure error

Use this when

• The operation in the anomaly detector settings fails with this exact message: agent hallucinating seasonality period as 7 for hourly metric caused detector failure error.
• The same failure repeats on retry with unchanged inputs.
• A review, export or check is blocked until this item completes.

Not for this skill when

• The message is a permission or outage notice from the platform. Resolve that first, then return here if this error remains.
• The operation completes and you only disagree with its output. That is a quality review, not this failure.

Steps

1. Reproduce the failure with the smallest scope that still shows it in the anomaly detector settings, and copy the full message plus the item, user or metric involved into the run notes. Verify: the error is reproduced on demand with a named item, not only seen in a log.
2. Apply the specific fix for this error: derive the seasonal period from the sampling interval, twenty four for an hourly series with a daily cycle, read the period from the detector config before each run, and flag any value that contradicts the interval. Verify: the detector uses the interval correct period and daily patterns stop misfiring.
3. Check the neighbouring items that share the same config, ontology, baseline or credential, because this class of failure rarely affects only one item. Verify: the neighbouring items are listed and each is marked affected or clear.
4. Rerun the original operation in the anomaly detector settings on the previously failing scope, watching for the same message rather than assuming success from a quiet log. Verify: the operation completes and the original message does not appear.
5. Compare the result counts, decisions or alerts against the source in the anomaly detector settings so a silent partial success is caught before sign off. Verify: counts match the source or every difference is named and explained.
6. Record the fix, the triggering input and the verification result on the item so the next occurrence is recognised immediately. Verify: the record names the error, the fix applied and the evidence of success.

Why it happens

A period of seven suits daily data with a weekly cycle; on hourly data it aligns the series against the wrong rhythm and every day looks anomalous.

How to fix: agent hallucinating seasonality period as 7 for hourly metric caused detector failure error

The how-to phrasing for the same failure in the anomaly detector settings. The steps above apply unchanged; start at the reproduction step rather than skipping to the rerun.

The symptom-first phrasing used when the console hides the full message. Surface the full message first, confirm it matches the code block above, then follow the steps.

Compatibility: the anomaly detector settings at current versions, plus the platform API or console the query names; no extra tooling beyond a text editor and the source system access needed to verify counts.

TL;DR

Fix this in the anomaly detector by acting on the exact message first: reproduce the failure on the smallest single item first, note the exact inputs that trigger it, and change only the input or setting the error names. Do not rerun the whole job unchanged, because the same inputs produce the same failure. Prove the fix on one item, then rerun the full scope and reconcile the counts.

Why it happens

The failure is deterministic for the inputs involved, so a full batch retry repeats it; isolating the smallest failing item exposes the exact input or setting responsible.
