TelecomTS: A Multi-Modal Observability Dataset for Time Series and Language Analysis

arXiv:2510.06063v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern enterprises generate vast streams of time series metrics when monitoring complex systems, known as observability data. Unlike conventional time series from domains such as climate, observability data are zero-inflated, highly stochastic, and exhibit minimal temporal structure. Despite their importance, observability datasets remain underrepresented in public benchmarks due to proprietary restrictions and privacy concerns. Existing datasets are often anonymized and normalized, removing scale information and limiting their use for

Why this matters
