While deep learning (DL) has emerged as a powerful technique, its benefits must be carefully considered in relation to computational costs. Specifically, although DL methods have achieved strong performance in log anomaly detection, they often require extended time for log preprocessing, model training, and model inference, hindering their adoption in online distributed cloud systems that require rapid deployment of log anomaly detection service.
