Abstract
This disclosure is directed to tagging tokens or sequences of tokens in log messages generated by a logging source. Event types of log messages in a block of log messages are collected. A series of tagging operations are applied to each log message in the block. For each tagging operation, event types that are qualified to receive the corresponding tag are identified. When a log message is received, the event type is determined and compared with the event types of the block in order to identify a matching event type. The series of tagging operations are applied to the log message to generate a tagged log message with the restriction that each tagging operation only applies a tag to token or sequences of tokens when the event type is qualified to receive the tag. The tagged log message is stored in a data-storage device.
