I am using KQL (make-series) to understand if there is any anomalies in my data. And I can see that few of them have anomaly score much higher than 100. I thought anomaly score is 0(low) to 100(high). Please help me in understanding the Anomaly score. Thanks

    Hello @D Mallikarjuna Reddy , welcome to this moderated Azure community forum. I tried to find more information about the score and the range. What I also found was this paragraph where the example shows a score up to 310. I also found this paragraph talking about scores above 3.0 and below -3.0 as strong indicators. I expect that last phrase about the indicator is the most important message.
