Samsung patents method to spot network faults using log patterns
Samsung has filed a patent for a system that collects operational logs from network equipment to detect unusual behavior. The device uses a specific algorithm to create a pattern from these logs and compares current states against a model to flag anomalies.
In the filing’s own words
An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions, and at least one processor comprising processing circuitry. The instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to obtain, rom at least one network element (NE), log data related to an operation of at least one NE, based on the log data, obtain, through a designated algorithm, a log pattern, based on the log pattern, identify first state information and second state information, identify that the second state information is distinct from state information identified through at least one model using the first state information, and based on identifying that the second state information is distinct from the state information identified through the at least one model, identify an anomaly in the at least one NE.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An electronic device comprising: memory, comprising one or more storage media, storing instructions; and at least one processor comprising processing circuitry, wherein the instructions, when executed by the at least one processor individually or collectively, cause the electronic device to: obtain, from at least one network element (NE), log data related to an operation of the at least one NE, based on the log data, obtain, through a designated algorithm, a log pattern, based on the log pattern, identify first state information and second state information, identify that the second state information is distinct from state information identified through at least one model using the first state information, and based on identifying that the second state information is distinct from the state information identified through the at least one model, identify an anomaly of the at least one NE.
