A new research paper introduces three simple LLM harnesses that outperform hand-crafted agents in root cause analysis for microservice failures. These harnesses, which allow models to investigate freely without predefined procedures, achieved higher accuracy on the RCAtlas benchmark compared to existing LLM agents and traditional statistical methods. The study found that while stronger models improve reliability and multi-turn interactions enhance aptitude, the simplicity of the harness design is key to its effectiveness, offering a more accurate and efficient approach to diagnosing complex system issues.
