OpsMem: Dual-Memory Reasoning with Cross-Memory Resonance for Failure Diagnosis
Failure diagnosis in modern software systems requires iterative evidence acquisition and hypothesis reasoning guided by operational experience. Existing LLM-based methods improve diagnosis through agentic reasoning or knowledge augmentation, but they often lack a mechanism to coordinate the evolving diagnostic state with operational experience during iterative diagnosis. We propose OpsMem, a dual-memory framework that maintains a short-term memory for the current diagnostic state and a long-term memory for reusable operational experience. OpsMem uses cross-memory resonance to activate state-relevant long-term memory, conditions multi-agent diagnosis on the short-term and activated long-term memories, and consolidates reusable experience from solved incidents back into long-term memory. Experiments on a real-world Huawei microservice failure diagnosis dataset show that OpsMem outperforms representative agentic-reasoning and knowledge-augmented baselines, improving Match and Relevant by up to 46.88% and 18.39% over the strongest baseline, respectively.
Bian Que: An Agentic Framework with Flexible Skill Arrangement for Online System Operations
Operating and maintaining (O&M) large-scale online engine systems (search, recommendation, advertising) demands substantial human effort for release monitoring, alert response, and root cause analysis. While LLM-based agents are a natural fit for these tasks, the deployment bottleneck is not reasoning capability but orchestration: selecting, for each operational event, the relevant data (metrics, logs, change events) and the applicable operational knowledge (handbook rules and practitioner experience). Feeding all signals indiscriminately causes dilution and hallucination, while manually curating the event-to-(data, knowledge) mapping is intractable under dozens of daily releases. We present Bian Que, an agentic framework with three contributions: (i) a \emph{unified operational paradigm} abstracting day-to-day O&M into three canonical patterns: release interception, proactive inspection, and alert root cause analysis; (ii) \emph{Flexible Skill Arrangement}, where each Skill specifies which data and knowledge to retrieve for a given business-module context and can be automatically generated and updated by LLMs or iteratively refined through natural-language instructions from on-call engineers; (iii) a \emph{unified self-evolving mechanism} in which one correction signal drives two parallel pathways, case-memory-to-knowledge distillation and targeted Skill refinement. Deployed on the e-commerce search engine of KuaiShou, the major short-video platform in China, Bian Que reduces alert volume by 75%, achieves 80% root-cause analysis accuracy, and cuts mean time to resolution by over 50%. Our framework achieves 99.0% pass rate on offline evaluations. Our code is available at https://github.com/benchen4395/BianQue_Assistant.
