A Hierarchical Approach to Extract Application Logs with Visualization in a Containerized Environment
Information in modern systems has a mechanism to record events typically known as a log. Reviewing logs provides an extract of system behavior to developers and system admins. Although in recent years, a variety of log mining approaches are available still users find it challenging to integrate the log parser with existing systems.In this paper, we have focused on log files associated with different application services and used a hierarchical approach to structure the log and then to convert them into a JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) format. Finally, we presented a visualization of parsed logs onto a UI tool having with recent fashion on microservices based deployment and evaluate its performance capability in terms of multi input streams. We have used Python for implementing the algorithm and docker as a container engine. The outcomes of our study will be extremely valuable for the re engineering of event analysis.
