In recent decades, the field of software engineering has driven the rapid evolution of Information Technology (IT) systems, including advances in cloud computing, 5G networks, and financial information platforms. Ensuring the stability, reliability, and robustness of these complex IT systems has emerged as a critical challenge. Large language models (LLMs) that have exhibited remarkable capabilities in NLP-related tasks are showing great potential in AIOps, such as root cause analysis of failures, generation of operations and maintenance scripts, and summarizing of alert information. Unlike knowledge in general corpora, knowledge of Ops varies with the different IT systems, encompassing various private sub-domain knowledge, sensitive to prompt engineering due to various sub-domains, and containing numerous terminologies. Existing NLP-related benchmarks can not guide the selection of suitable LLMs for Ops (OpsLLM), and current metrics (e.g., BLEU, ROUGE) can not adequately reflect the question-answering (QA) effectiveness in the Ops domain. We propose a comprehensive benchmark suite, OpsEval, including an Ops-oriented evaluation dataset, an Ops evaluation benchmark, and a specially designed Ops QA evaluation method. Our dataset contains 7,334 multiple-choice questions and 1,736 QA questions. We have carefully selected and released 20% of the dataset written by domain experts in various sub-domains to assist current researchers in preliminary evaluations of OpsLLMs. We test over 24 latest LLMs under various settings such as self-consistency, chain-of-thought, and in-context learning, revealing findings when applying LLMs to Ops. We also propose an evaluation method for QA in Ops, which has a coefficient of 0.9185 with human experts and is improved by 0.4471 and 1.366 compared to BLEU and ROUGE, respectively. Over the past one year, our dataset and leaderboard have been continuously updated.
