Abstract
Systems and methods for validation of log formats are described herein. Log data is stored via a logging service in a data store or other storage system. An example log or proposed log format is received by the logging service. The proposed log format is validated against validation rules provided by log consumers.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- one or more computing devices comprising one or more processors, the one or more computing devices configured to implement a logging service, the logging service configured to:
- prior to receipt and storage, by the logging service, of log data from a log producer in accordance with a proposed format determined to be valid:
- receive, from a log data consumer that is distinct from the log producer and that will consume the log data, an indication of one or more validation rules for validating a format of the log data, the log data to be received and stored in one or more data stores of the logging service;
- receive a proposed log format from the log producer from which the log data is to be received, wherein the proposed log format provides a proposed format for the log data to be received and stored in the one or more data stores;
- generate an output file based on the proposed log format, wherein the output file is generated based at least in part on validation of the proposed log format against the one or more validation rules indicated by the log data consumer such that a validity of the proposed log format is determined prior to receipt of the log data from the log producer and storage of the log data in the one or more data stores in accordance with the proposed format;
- and
- subsequent to the validation of the proposed log format, provide the log producer an indication of the validity of the proposed log format such that the log producer can determine whether to send log data in accordance with the proposed log format.
4 more elements
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- performing, by one or more computer processors of a logging service prior to receipt of corresponding log data from a log producer, and prior to storage of the corresponding log data in one or more data stores, wherein the log data is to be formatted in accordance with a proposed format determined to be valid:
- receiving a proposed log format from the log producer from which the log data is to be received, wherein the proposed log format provides a proposed format in which the log data is to be received;
- validating the proposed log format from the log producer against one or more validation rules, the one or more validation rules determined at least in part by a log data consumer, distinct from the log producer, that will consume the log data in the proposed log format;
- generating an output file based on the proposed log format from the log producer, wherein the output file is generated based at least in part on said validating;
- and
- subsequent to the validation of the proposed log format, providing the log producer an indication of whether the proposed log format passed or failed validation against the one or more validation rules.
3 more elements
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program instructions that when executed by one or more processors implement a logging service configured to:
- prior to receipt and storage, by the logging service, of corresponding log data from a log producer, in one or more data stores in accordance with a proposed log format determined to be valid:
- receive a proposed log format from the log producer from which the log data is to be received, wherein the proposed log format provides the proposed format for the log data to be received and stored in the one or more data stores of the logging service;
- generate an output file based on the proposed log format from the log producer, wherein the output file is generated based at least in part on validation of the proposed log format from the log producer against one or more validation rules, the one or more validation rules determined at least in part by a log data consumer that is distinct from the log producer and that will consume the log data;
- and
- subsequent to the validation of the proposed log format, provide the log producer an indication of whether the proposed log format passed or failed validation against the one or more validation rules.
