Use a Python script to fetch the data, extract message counts per domain, and compare against thresholds:
Route the parsed metrics into a time-series database. Prometheus is ideal for scraping real-time metrics. InfluxDB excels at handling high-volume, long-term log event data. 3. Visualization If you share with third parties, their policies apply

Using a simple Python script + Prometheus, Jamie built a baseline. Any domain deviating >2 standard deviations from its 7-day rolling average triggered a specific alert: [Yahoo] Deferral spike: 12% → 38% due to 421 handshake (not throttling).
