What Information Contributes to Log-based Anomaly Detection? Insights from a Configurable Transformer-Based Approach
September 2024 • Xingfang Wu, Heng Li, Foutse Khomh
Log data are generated from logging statements in the source code, providing insights into the execution processes of software applications and systems. State-of-the-art log-based anomaly detection approaches typically leverage deep learning models to capture the semantic or sequential information in the log data and detect anomalous runtime behaviors. However, the impacts of these different types of information are not clear. In addition, most existing approaches ignore the timestamps in log data, which can poten…
