Log event generation using template schemas and related systems and methods

Abstract

Techniques for generating simulated log events are disclosed herein. Simulated log events are generated using schemas for templates determined according to a variable parameter for the template. The templates correspond to different clients, request types associated with the simulated event, and/or servers within an organization for which events are logged. For a particular template corresponding to a client role and request type, the schemas provide rules and/or schedules for determining sequences of one or more events according to event type, timestamp, and/or other event details. The sequences of events are visualized by a logging analytics service. Schemas are manually defined or automatically determined. Organization event logs are ingested by the system to identify templates and/or schemas for the organization which are used to simulate log events for the organization.
