Automated system alert based on logs sentiment analysis

Abstract

Methods, computer program products, and systems are presented. The methods include, for instance: creating a log data specific lexicon based on log data samples, each word in the log data specific lexicon corresponding to a weighted sentiment score with a binary polarity. A log message is obtained, and a sentiment value of the log message is assigned based on respective weighted sentiment scores of words appearing in the log message. The log message is classified for a class indicating an issue the log message addresses. An alert type for the log message is determined based on the sentiment value, the class, and a priority of the log message, and a system alert including a set of key performance indicators according to the alert type is produced to a user.
