Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional cloud service monitoring systems rely on predefined alert thresholds, which often trigger alerts too late or too early, failing to timely identify and remediate operational anomalies, especially in complex cloud environments where service content expiration between upstream and downstream services leads to hard-to-track issues.

Innovation Solution

A generative operation prewarning beacon service that monitors performance indexes, determines trends, generates prewarning vectors, performs validity checks on service content, and consolidates these into a unified report before actual alerts are triggered, using AI and large language models to proactively identify potential risks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of time

If traditional predefined alert thresholds are used, then the alerting system is simple and easy to configure, but the alerts are triggered too late or too early, failing to timely identify operational anomalies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvealert timing accuracyVSAvoidmonitoring system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis by monitoring performance index trends and generating prewarning vectors before actual anomalies occur. The anomaly detection model proactively identifies potential issues by analyzing trend data and service content validity, enabling early warning before predefined thresholds are breached, thus resolving the timing accuracy problem without requiring complex real-time intervention mechanisms

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system establishes a feedback loop where performance index data is continuously collected, analyzed for trends, and used to generate prewarning vectors. These prewarnings are fed back into the monitoring system to adjust alerting behavior, creating an adaptive system that learns from historical data and improves timing accuracy over time without manual reconfiguration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Reliability

If predefined alert thresholds are used, then the system is easy to operate, but it cannot detect unknown or hard-to-track issues between service invoking chains

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanomaly detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem operation simplicity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The anomaly detection model performs self-service analysis by automatically monitoring service content validity and generating prewarning vectors without requiring manual configuration or intervention. The system autonomously analyzes performance index trends, validates service content between upstream and downstream services, and identifies anomalies, maintaining ease of operation while significantly improving detection accuracy for previously undetectable issues

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the monitoring parameters from static predefined thresholds to dynamic trend analysis and validity checks. By transitioning to monitoring performance index trends and service content validity rather than fixed values, the system can detect unknown anomalies while maintaining operational simplicity through automated parameter adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Loss of information

If traditional monitoring approaches are used, then the system structure is simple, but service content expiration between upstream and downstream services results in unknown and hard-to-track issues

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveservice content validity trackingVSAvoidmonitoring architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the monitoring function into distinct components: performance index monitoring, trend analysis, service content validity checking, and prewarning generation. Each component handles a specific aspect of the monitoring task independently, making the complex problem of tracking service content expiration manageable through modular analysis while preserving complete information flow

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The anomaly detection model acts as an intermediary between upstream and downstream services, validating service content and generating prewarning vectors that track expiration issues. This intermediary layer consolidates information from multiple services into a unified monitoring perspective, making previously lost information about service content validity accessible and trackable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Arrangements for a generative operation prewarning beacon service are provided. A series of performance indexes may be monitored. One or more trends may be determined from the series of performance indexes. A first prewarning vector may be generated based on the determined one or more trends. Trending operations associated with the one or more trends may be stored in a data store. A validity check may be performed on content information communicated between upstream and downstream services. A second prewarning vector may be generated based on a result of the validity check. The first prewarning vector and the second prewarning vector may be transmitted to an anomaly aggregator. The anomaly aggregator may consolidate at least the first prewarning vector and the second prewarning vector into a unified record of operation prewarning vectors. An operation prewarning report may be generated before an actual alert is triggered.
