Use Python and AIOps for Log Analysis: Prevent System Failures

Why This Project Matters

In today's microservices world, logs are everywhere. Each service, pod, or function emits logs constantly and traditional tools like grep, ELK, or Loki are reactive.

What if you could detect anomalies automatically — even the ones you didn’t know to look for?

That’s what AIOps for Log Analysis does.

🔍 What is AIOps?

AIOps (Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations) combines big data, machine learning, and automation to make IT operations smarter and faster.

Use cases in log analysis:

• Anomaly Detection

• Root Cause Analysis

• Predictive Maintenance

• Alert Prioritization

• Automated Remediation

---

🧠 The ML Model Behind It: Isolation Forest

We use Isolation Forest, an unsupervised ML algorithm known for detecting outliers in massive datasets. It doesn’t need labeled data and scales effortlessly.

Features Used:

• Log level severity (mapped numerically)

• Log message length

• Timestamps (parsed with pandas)

---

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Python 3

• pandas & numpy for data processing

• scikit-learn for ML model

• Sample system_logs.txt for testing

• CLI-friendly script, production-ready

🎯 Real-world Use Case

Imagine a memory leak error silently repeating 100+ times in logs daily. Traditional systems miss it. AIOps detects the pattern before your app crashes.
