Abstract

To enhance the accuracy of log anomaly detection, the raw log is transformed into word vectors with the different word embedding algorithms. Currently, some kinds of word embedding algorithms such as GloVe have been applied in log anomaly detection. However, there is no academic consensus on which word embedding algorithm is the most suitable for log anomaly detection. Addressing this issue, we have developed an experimental platform for log anomaly detection, aiming to comparatively analyze the different word embedding algorithms in log anomaly detection. We first preprocessed the Loghub dataset, then generated log vectors using GloVe, Word2vec, and FastText, respectively. Finally, we trained an LSTM model for anomaly detection. Through in-depth analysis of the experimental data, this paper evaluates the different word embedding algorithms in log anomaly detection. The experimental results indicate that, GloVe achieves the highest accuracy under the environment in this paper.
