Abstract
A method and system for grouping and compressing system logs are described herein. A generation module residing and executing on a computer system may be configured to generate system logs containing system data important for support purposes describing the computer system, and system log metadata for describing the system logs. A grouping module residing and executing on a computer system may be configured to group system logs based on the system log metadata. Each group of system logs may comprise two or more system logs having the same or similar system log metadata. A data container is produced for each group of system logs and the data container is compressed. System logs having the same or similar system log metadata are more likely to have similar data, thus resulting in a higher degree of compression when grouped and compressed together.
