Data Drift Monitoring for Log Anomaly Detection Pipelines

Logs enable the monitoring of infrastructure status and the performance of associated applications. Logs are also invaluable for diagnosing the root causes of any problems that may arise. Log Anomaly Detection (LAD) pipelines automate the detection of anomalies in logs, providing assistance to site reliability engineers (SREs) in system diagnosis. Log patterns change over time, necessitating updates to the LAD model defining the `normal' log activity profile. In this paper, we introduce a Bayes Factor-based drift detection method that identifies when intervention, retraining, and updating of the LAD model are required with human involvement. We illustrate our method using sequences of log activity, both from unaltered data, and simulated activity with controlled levels of anomaly contamination, based on real collected log data.
