A KPI Anomaly Detection Method Based on Fast Clustering

Abstract

In the Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations scenarios, KPI (Key Performance Indicator) is a very important operation and maintenance monitoring indicator, and research on KPI anomaly detection has also become a hot spot in recent years. Aiming at the problems of low detection efficiency and insufficient representation learning of existing methods, this paper proposes a fast clustering-based KPI anomaly detection method HCE-DWL. This paper firstly adopts the combination of hierarchical agglomerative clustering (HAC) and deep assignment based on CNN-Embedding (CE) to perform cluster analysis (that is HCE) on KPI data, so as to improve the clustering efficiency of KPI data, and then separately the centroid of each KPI cluster and its Transformed Outlier Scores (TOS) are given weights, and finally they are put into the LightGBM model for detection (the Double Weight LightGBM model, referred to as DWL). Through comparative experimental analysis, it is proved that the algorithm can effectively improve the efficiency and accuracy of KPI anomaly detection.
