Title
K-means Application for Anomaly Detection and Log Classification in HPC.
Abstract
Detecting anomalies in the flow of system logs of a high performance computing (HPC) facility is a challenging task. Although previous research has been conducted to identify nominal and abnormal phases; practical ways to provide system administrators with a reduced set of the most useful messages to identify abnormal behaviour remains a challenge. In this paper we describe an extensive study of logs classification and anomaly detection using K-means on real HPC unlabelled data extracted from the Curie supercomputer. This method involves (1) classifying logs by format, which is a valuable information for admin, then (2) build normal and abnormal classes for anomaly detection. Our methodology shows good performances for clustering and detecting abnormal logs.
