In the era of expanding cloud-edge online service systems, predictive maintenance (PdM) based on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), such as CPU utilization, response rate, and network bandwidth, is essential for system operational reliability and security. Traditional data-driven PdM approaches for cloud-edge services often monitor individual indicators in isolation, neglecting their interrelationships. Although convolutional modules have been utilized for collaborative representation learning of localized high-dimensional KPIs, the high computational complexity of CNNs and the limited kernel size hinder their efficacy in modeling high-dimensional, time-sensitive KPIs. To address these challenges, we propose a lightweight Multi-Channel Multilayer Perceptron (MCMLP) framework for collaborative PdM. This framework enables efficient pointwise manipulation to capture inner-indicator hidden patterns within KPIs sequences without relying on grid-based convolution. Our MCMLP enhances locality through a two-stage dual-channel feature extraction process that captures spatial and temporal dependencies, integrating inner-indicator and cross-timeline features. The proposed MCMLP can also be easily plugged into existing CNN-based detectors as a substitute, offering a computationally economical alternative. Empirical results in real-world KPI data from various cloud-edge service scenarios demonstrate that MCMLP significantly outperforms traditional CNN-based methods, with a roughly 22% red...
