UniSage: A Unified and Post-Analysis-Aware Sampling for Microservices
Traces and logs are essential for observability and fault diagnosis in modern distributed systems. However, their ever-growing volume introduces substantial storage overhead and complicates troubleshooting. Existing approaches typically adopt a sample-before-analysis paradigm: even when guided by data heuristics, they inevitably discard failure-related information and hinder transparency in diagnosing system behavior. To address this, we introduce UniSage, the first unified framework to sample …

I'd rather work on tickets that take 5 hours of troubleshooting than to work on a ticket where I have to ask someone else to approve/deny something on their end.

So, made the CMPTR breakout board, got RGB into the TV and all of the colors were very, very dim. Even cranking the brightness to 100% didn't solve the issue, and the picture was then slightly brighter and washed out. Spent a ton of time troubleshooting the board and got to the point where there was no obvious issue with the signal going into the TV.
Decided to sleep on the problem and attacked it today where I realized what the issue was: the Picture setting was at the minimum. …

CAMB: A comprehensive industrial LLM benchmark on civil aviation maintenance
Civil aviation maintenance is a domain characterized by stringent industry standards. Within this field, maintenance procedures and troubleshooting represent critical, knowledge-intensive tasks that require sophisticated reasoning. To address the lack of specialized evaluation tools for large language models (LLMs) in this vertical, we propose and develop an industrial-grade benchmark specifically designed for civil aviation maintenance. This benchmark serves a dual purpose: It provides a stand…

MICA: Multi-Agent Industrial Coordination Assistant
Industrial workflows demand adaptive and trustworthy assistance that can operate under limited computing, connectivity, and strict privacy constraints. In this work, we present MICA (Multi-Agent Industrial Coordination Assistant), a perception-grounded and speech-interactive system that delivers real-time guidance for assembly, troubleshooting, part queries, and maintenance. MICA coordinates five role-specialized language agents, audited by a safety checker, to ensure accurate and compliant sup…

RANGAN: GAN-empowered Anomaly Detection in 5G Cloud RAN
Radio Access Network (RAN) systems are inherently complex, requiring continuous monitoring to prevent performance degradation and ensure optimal user experience. The RAN leverages numerous key performance indicators (KPIs) to evaluate system performance, generating vast amounts of data each second. This immense data volume can make troubleshooting and accurate diagnosis of performance anomalies more difficult. Furthermore, the highly dynamic nature of RAN performance demands adaptive methodolog…

So after some thought, I think I'm gonna break out all of the signals coming out of the CMPTR connector. Shouldn't really increase the cost of the device, and it might be useful for troubleshooting if you could inline the board so I'd have to add another DB-25 connector.

From PREVENTion to REACTion: Enhancing Failure Resolution in Naval Systems
Complex and large industrial systems often misbehave, for instance, due to wear, misuse, or faults. To cope with these incidents, it is important to timely detect their occurrences, localize the sources of the problems, and implement the appropriate countermeasures. This paper reports our experience with a state-of-the-art failure prediction method, PREVENT, and its extension with a troubleshooting module, REACT, applied to naval systems developed by Fincantieri. Our results show how to integra…

CrossTrace: Efficient Cross-Thread and Cross-Service Span Correlation in Distributed Tracing for Microservices
Distributed tracing has become an essential technique for debugging and troubleshooting modern microservice-based applications, enabling software engineers to detect performance bottlenecks, identify failures, and gain insights into system behavior. However, implementing distributed tracing in large-scale applications remains challenging due to the need for extensive instrumentation. To reduce this burden, zero-code instrumentation solutions, such as those based on eBPF, have emerged, allowing …
