Log Sequence Anomaly Detection Based on Local Information Extraction and Globally Sparse Transformer Model
Abstract
Anomaly detection for log sequences is a necessary task for system intelligent operation and fault diagnosis. In a log sequence, adjacent logs have the property of local correlation, while long-distance logs have remote dependencies. It is helpful to fully mine these information during modeling for improving the performance of anomaly detection. Meanwhile, there are some redundant information or noise in the log sequence, which has no contribution to the detection, and may even bring negative impact. The existing methods for log sequence anomaly detection do not take the above problems into account when constructing models. In this paper, we propose LSADNET, an unsupervised log sequence anomaly detection network based on local information extraction and globally sparse Transformer model. LSADNET applies multi-layer convolution to capture the local correlation between adjacent logs, and utilizes Transformer to learn the global dependency among long-distance logs. Meanwhile, we propose a globally sparse Transformer model to improve the self-attention mechanism, which can help to retain important information adaptively and eliminate the irrelevant information in the log sequence. In addition, according to the co-occurrence mode of log templates, we put forward the calculation formula of log template transfer value, and apply it to log vectorization. Through sufficient experiments on two public datasets, it is confirmed that LSADNET has better performance than the state-of-art me…

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
