Product Value:

Improve the overall operation and maintenance efficiency: support intelligent fault location root cause and provide disposal strategy, reduce personnel experience dependence, greatly shorten fault location time and improve the overall operation and maintenance efficiency;

Ensure the operation quality of the system: when the index cracking occurs, the fault warning engine can give early warning to the business and system risks in time, so as to avoid production failures and ensure the operation quality of the system;

Properly control operating costs: support intelligent evaluation and optimization of resource efficiency, carry out reasonable planning of capacity, improve resource utilization efficiency, and further control the operating costs;

Enhance per capita operation and maintenance capacity: through the introduction of AIOps capabilities and technology, operation and maintenance personnel can be liberated from the complex alarm and high-frequency repetition problems, so as to enhance the per capita operation and maintenance capabilities.


Core Functions:

High cohesion operation and maintenance components: starting from the three aspects of quality assurance, cost management and efficiency improvement, it provides scenario-based operation and maintenance learning software with high cohesion and low coupling, realizes lightweight capacity docking production, and supports the rapid landing of intelligent operation and maintenance requirements, and is easy to copy and popularize.

Standardized API interfaces: the algorithm model and inference protocol are encapsulated inside the learning software and integrated with the third-party system through Open API interface and component mode, so as to bring intelligent support and energy;

Application Cases:

Case 1: Gold Index Anomaly Detection

AISWare AIOps has been introduced by a communication operator to monitor and alert various indicators such as Kafka Topic traffic, traffic volume and load balancing response delay. It has realized the anomaly detection of intelligent dynamic threshold value, the average daily call is more than 12 million times, the fault recall rate is 99%, the precision rate is about 90%, and many failures have been successfully predicted.


Case 2: Alarm Root Cause Analysis and Convergence

AISWare AIOps has been introduced into the O domain alarm convergence scenario of a communication operator. It locates root cause alarm in real time by dynamic mining of alarm RCA rules. Currently, the alarm convergence rate reaches 98%, effectively alleviating the warning storm.


Case 3: Fault Location of Microservice Application System

AISWare AIOps has been introduced into the fault location real-world scenario of a microservice call chain. In terms of full link, it locates the root cause node of the call chain by synthetically analyzing the running state and call relationship of each service. It also combines the platform index operation data and topological relations to further intelligently reason and locate the actual root cause of failures. The actual detection data shows that the average fault recall rate is over 85%, the precision rate is 80%, and the fault location time is greatly shortened.
