Abstract
Methods, network traffic management apparatuses, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that optimize transport of unknown and changing unstructured log data in a network environment. The method includes retrieving one or more entries associated with target unstructured log data; structuring the one or more entries into sorted structured batches comprising structured data and sorted unstructured batches without structured data, based on a current configuration and producing current batch metadata; converting the sorted structured batches into columnar-oriented representation; compressing the columnar-oriented batches; evaluating the compressed columnar-oriented batches by comparing a compression ratio of compressed sizes of the sorted structured batches and the sorted unstructured batches using the current batch metadata thereby producing a compression rate; receiving the compression rate and the current batch metadata; and determining an optimized configuration for the retrieved one or more entries; and repeating the above steps using the optimized configuration.
