Abstract
Large amounts of unstructured log data generated by software and infrastructure components of a computing system are processed and analyzed in real time to identify anomalies and potential problems within the computing system. A log analytics module reduces both the volume and level of detail of log data by first classifying log messages into message types based on their content similarity. The log analytics module may then further reduce data by grouping bursts of log messages into log events. Patterns within these log events, such as the collection and number of different message types that comprise the event, can be used to identify anomalous events.
