Magicbricks introduces practical and robust anomaly detection in a data generated via Google Analytics Premium Magicbricks.com is a property portal that provides a platform to people looking to buy/rent properties and to the businesses/agents wanting to sell properties. To reduce the portal down-time in case of unplanned outages, magicbricks worked ®

with its Google Analytics Premium partner Tatvic , to build an effective real-time anomaly alert system based on the total contacts generated by magicbricks. Real-time Anomaly Detection is the process of detecting patterns in data that do not conform to a well-defined notion of normal/expected behavior. Website unexpected

Goals • Measure

performance status • Reduce server down-time in case of unplanned outages • Develop an alert mechanism in terms of email/SMS

Approach • Utilize Google Analytics data to generate performance alerts every three hours using Anomaly Detection system developed by Tatvic® • Define key metrics which need a realtime anomaly detection check for detecting any deviation • Apply Anomaly Algorithm to the timeseries data generated by Google Analytics and calculate deviations in real-time

which ultimately hit the bottom line of business. Tatvic worked with Magicbricks team to develop a solution based on Google Analytics Premium data and Anomaly Detection algorithm, which generates automated real-time email/SMS alerts and warns higher/middle management about the live performance of website on their mobiles devices. “Being a No.1 property portal, magicbricks aims to provide their users an outstanding experience which help them make confident property decisions that ultimately helps Magicbricks to remain the most preferred property portal in India. Anomaly Detection has helped us measure various portal activities and unexpected website behaviors which ultimately hampers user experience.” - Sudhir Pai, CEO, Magicbricks

Implementation Anomaly Detection implementation starts with defining an algorithm & collecting data from website to detect anomalies from the data generated via ®

Google Analytics Premium. Tatvic took care of designing this algorithm for us which has three primary components (i) fixed (ii) cyclical & (iii) seasonal data

Results • Identification of unexpected behavior • Reduced outage trouble-shooting time • Automated alert system of detecting outage and its severity • Real-time portal performance status to senior & middle management on their phones

series to detect the exact change in component and generate the deviation alerts at an aggregate level. Algorithm can be implemented in various programming languages which access the GAP data using un-sampled API and run an algorithm to generate SMS, Email or both alerts. Alerts module enables us to measure the severity of the issue & send the alert to relevant professionals of the organization.

“Anomaly Detection has helped us keep track of real-time portal performance and provided great insights. We were able to respond quickly to the various situations that ultimately helped us serve our customers better.” - Puneet Kukreja, Associate Product Head, Magicbricks
