# Manage Anomaly Detectors in Log Center

View, edit, pause, resume, and delete anomaly detectors in B2C Commerce Log Center, and create a detector from a log search you already ran. What you can change depends on your Log Center role and the realms you can access.

## Who Can View, Edit, and Delete Detectors

Access to anomaly detectors depends on your Log Center role and the realms you can access.

## View Results

View the results and status of any detector in a realm you can access, regardless of who created it.

## Edit and Delete

What you can change depends on your role.

 
| Role | Can edit or delete |
| --- | --- |
| Log Center user | Only the detectors you created |
| Log Center external admin | Any detector in the realms you can access |
| Salesforce administrator or support | Any detector |

## Considerations

- Create detectors only for realms you can access.
- Each user can configure up to ten detectors. Administrators aren't subject to this limit.
- Detectors that analyze security logs are available only to users who have access to security logs.
- Pausing a detector doesn't free up a slot. To create a new detector when you reach your limit, delete one that you no longer need.

## Edit a Detector

1. On the **Anomaly Detection** tab, click **Anomaly Detector Configurations**.
2. Find the detector, and open it for editing.
3. Update the **Data**, **Detector settings**, or **Alerts** step. Log Center prefills all three steps with the current values.
4. Click **Save**.

Tip Changes to filters or settings can change which anomalies Log Center flags. After you save, review the detector's results to confirm that it behaves as you expect.

## Pause or Resume Detection

To stop a detector from checking for anomalies without losing its configuration, turn off **Real-time Anomaly Detection** for that detector. Log Center asks you to confirm. To resume, turn on **Real-time Anomaly Detection** again.

## Delete a Detector

Deleting a detector permanently removes it and its configuration. Log Center asks you to confirm before it deletes the detector. You can't undo this action. Delete only the detectors that your role allows you to delete.

![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/images/icon_tip.png)

Tip Pause a detector if you expect to use it again. Delete it if you no longer need it.

## Create a Detector from a Log Search

![Log Center search results with the Detector button](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/cc/b2c_merchandiser_administrator/images/b2c_create_anomaly_detector_from_log_search.png)

If you've already built a search that finds the logs you care about, you can turn it into a detector.

1. In Log Center, run your search.
2. Click **Detector**. The New Anomaly Detector wizard opens with your search filters already applied on the **Data** step.
3. Review the filters, click **Preview Logs** to check the matches, and complete the remaining steps.

This is a quick way to start with filters that you've already tested. The **Detector** button appears only when the current search can be turned into a detector.

![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-cc-b2c_merchandiser_administrator-264-0-0-production-enus/ea76f372-6cfa-42a6-8e7c-05c6df7abed8/images/icon_important.png)

Important Creating detectors for multiple realms at once isn't supported.

## Salesforce-Managed Detectors

Salesforce can create some detectors for you, for example, to monitor security-related activity. For these detectors:

- The **Data** and **Detector settings** steps are read-only.
- Change the **Alerts** step to choose who is notified and how.
- Users who can access the detector's realm can update alerting, even if they didn't create the detector.

## View Detector Alerts

When alerting is turned on, anomalies that meet your alert threshold also appear on the **Alerts** page as Anomaly Detector alerts. From there, review the alert and open its settings.

## Manage Notification Channels

- Send alerts to email addresses, Slack channels, Microsoft Teams chats or channels, and PagerDuty services.
- To create a channel, click **Set up a notification channel** on the **Alerts** step.
- You can't delete a notification channel that a detector uses. Remove the channel from the detector first, and then delete it.

## Availability

The **Anomaly Detection** tab has been generally available since August 2026.
