Abstract
A method is disclosed for condensing reported checkpoint log data that facilitates analysis of the checkpoint log data by minimizing extraneous results presented to a user. The method includes a user interface to receive a query expression from a user based on one or more conditions and one or more parameters. A record handler retrieves a checkpoint log record from a storage device. A structuring module parses the checkpoint log record into log entries. A comparison module applies the query expression to each log entry. This application of the query expression may include applying the query expression to a particular portion of the log entry specified by an offset. The output module generates a condensed checkpoint log record including log entries that satisfy the query expression.
