Outlier Limit

Question

Hello Team

Out of the box, we have below limit on Outlier:-

What does the Outlier limit means here. Is this the number of Outlier anomalies stored in DB. If yes why display limit is more than storage in out of the box setup?
if we set the OutlierUI limit to 10k does this mean we can export only 10k from UI or will it export everything?
If we set the OutlierUI limit to 10k does it mean we see only 10k in UI but in database, we store all anomalies which can be more than 10k

“outlierlimit” config is for numerical outlier limit for the entire dataset and store only up to 30 numerical outliers.
“categoricallimit” config is the categorical outlier limit for each column of categorical variable and store up to 30 numerical outliers per categorical column
“outlierlimitui” config is the UI limit query saying “show me only 1000 numerical and categorical outlier”

So it is easy for Outlier analysis (numerical + categorical) to easily go over 1000 outlierlimitui

The outlier limit is exposed as two separate settings.

One limits what is presented on the UI
One limits how many are stored in the database

The primary reason for these is to limit the amount of data that is stored.

The outlierlimit will take be honored over the outlierlimitui.

In this example, you would only store 30 outliers to the database.
