Systems and techniques for alert-based learning for multi-dimensional data processing are described herein. Alert data may be received from a big data platform. An alert definition may be generated that includes a set of key performance indicators (KPIs) for an alert based on a determination that an alert definition does not exist for the alert. A calculation configuration may be created for the alert. Historical data from the big data platform may be evaluated with the calculation configuration to calculate the KPIs. An alert condition may be established for the alert based on the KPIs. The alert condition may be stored in the big data platform.
