Welcome to the comprehensive guide on using GAIA, the Generic AIOps Atlas! This framework helps you analyze various operational challenges, including anomaly detection, log analysis, and fault localization. By integrating data from MicroSS and Companion Data, GAIA enables you to simulate real-world issues effectively. So, let’s dive into the essentials and get you started!
Quick Start with GAIA
Before we jump into the details, let’s get familiar with the resources GAIA provides:
Understanding the Data
GAIA comprises datasets from two main sources:
- MicroSS: Over 6,500 metrics and 7,000,000 log items collected over two weeks.
- Companion Data: Additional metrics for anomaly detection and log analysis.
How Does GAIA Work?
Think of GAIA as an interactive laboratory where we simulate a system with multiple test tubes (the datasets) that react in various ways under different conditions (anomalies). Each dataset informs researchers (users) about how a particular system behaves over time and helps diagnose any issues by tinkering with the variables to see how the outputs (logs and metrics) change in response to certain inputs (controlled user behaviors).
Getting Started with the Datasets
The datasets in GAIA provide numerous insights into operational performance. Here’s how you can access the datasets:
MicroSS
- Metrics: Available in the MicroSS repository.
- Traces: Collect performance traces through OpenTracing.
- Business Logs: Helpful for understanding system interactions.
Companion Data
- Metric Detection: The Companion Data repository includes various time series data types.
- Log Data: More than 200K pieces of log data for detailed analysis.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using GAIA, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Check Links: Ensure all the repository links are accessible. If you find broken links, try using a VPN.
- Data Analysis Errors: If your analysis returns unexpected results, consider reviewing the dependencies and software environments to ensure compatibility.
- Python Libraries Not Working: Make sure that all required libraries are up to date and correctly installed in your Python environment.
