Custom Metrics
11 months ago by Sebastian Wallin
It's been a while since we introduced the first version of Metrics, a powerful way of utilizing time series aggregations (or velocities) as part of your fraud and abuse prevention strategies. Today we're happy to release a fully customizable version of Metrics, which enables you to create time series queries that run in real-time, based on any fields available on events, including custom properties.
This opens up a tone of new use-cases, including detecting:
- Account sharing, by tracking the number of unique devices per account within a certain period of time.
- Spam messaging, by tracking number of messages sent per account, together with the number of unique recipients
- Brute force attacks, by blocking an IP or account temporarily, based on the number of failed logins recorded for an IP, within a specific period of time
Once you've created and enabled a custom Metric, it'll immediately start accumulating data and be available to use in the Explore view, Policies, and Custom Signals
Custom Metrics are available on all plans.Read more in our documentation
