TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTING ATYPICAL EVENTS IN EVENT LOGS

Abstract:

Examples described herein generally relate to processing event logs where, for each of multiple events in an event log of the one or more event logs, a table of logged event instances can be generated for the event. For each of the multiple events, the table can be processed using an autoencoder to identify one or more of the logged event instances as anomalies, and an indication of at least a portion of the anomalies can be output. In addition, the event logs and/or corresponding tables of events can be used to train models for the autoencoders.
