Identifying root causes in production microservice failures requires reasoning over large-scale, multimodal telemetry spanning metrics, logs, and traces, a problem that has proved resistant to both classical and LLM-based approaches. The OpenRCA dataset exemplifies these challenges: it is large-scale, multimodal, and lacks detailed domain knowledge, and yields consistently low accuracy across all existing methods.

Automated root cause analysis (RCA) with large language models (LLMs) has drawn growing attention. Today, SREs typically automate RCA with LLMs in one of two ways: directly using a general-purpose age...
The paper discusses the challenges of root cause analysis (RCA) in 5G and 6G telecom networks, where complex cross-layer dependencies make diagnosis difficult. It reviews the progression from rule‑based and machine‑learning RCA methods to emerging large language model (LLM) approaches, highlighting issues such as hallucination and unstable reasoning when using vanilla LLMs. The authors propose a structured reasoning framework that organizes network telemetry into canonical contexts, enforces decision‑path reasoning, and generates evidence‑grounded explanations, showing improved diagnostic accuracy on two 5G RCA datasets.
Root cause analysis (RCA) poses a holistic test of LLM agentic capabilities, such as long-context understanding, multi-step reasoning, and tool use. However, existing datasets suffer from a fundamental gap: they label only the root cause, not the propagation path connecting it to the observed symptom, which largely simplifies the task to naive pattern matching.
The paper introduces a structured reasoning framework that leverages large language models (LLMs) for root cause analysis (RCA) in telecom networks. It organizes heterogeneous network telemetry into canonical contexts, enforces decision‑path reasoning, and produces evidence‑grounded explanations to improve fault identification. Experiments on two 5G RCA datasets, TeleLogs and TelecomTS, show that this approach consistently outperforms baseline techniques in diagnostic accuracy and decision consistency.
