System and method for parsing, summarizing and reporting log data

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a log receiver, a log message from the log-producing device;
• determining, by the log receiver, a property of the log message;
• copying, by the log receiver, the log message into a first storage buffer;
• parsing, by a log parser, content of the first storage buffer, including:
• extracting data fields from the log message in the first storage buffer;
• and
• converting the extracted data fields into one or more structured query language statements;
• copying, by the log parser, the one or more structured query language statements into a second buffer;
• reading, by a database inserter, the one or more structured query language statements in the second storage buffer;
• inserting, by the database inserter, the one or more structured query language statements into one or more database tables;
• and
• summarizing, by a message collection engine, the one or more structured query language statements in the one or more database tables into summarized statements for storing on a non-transitory storage device,
• wherein the method is performed by one or more computers.

A non-transitory storage device storing computer instructions operable to cause one or more computers to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by a log receiver, a log message from the log-producing device;
• determining, by the log receiver, a property of the log message;
• copying, by the log receiver, the log message into a first storage buffer;
• parsing, by a log parser, content of the first storage buffer, including:
• extracting data fields from the log message in the first storage buffer;
• and
• converting the extracted data fields into one or more structured query language statements;
• copying, by the log parser, the one or more structured query language statements into a second buffer;
• reading, by a database inserter, the one or more structured query language statements in the second storage buffer;
• inserting, by the database inserter, the one or more structured query language statements into one or more database tables;
• and
• summarizing, by a message collection engine, the one or more structured query language statements in the one or more database tables into summarized statements for storing on the non-transitory storage device.
