Abstract
In accordance with aspects of the present technique, a method of retrieving information of interest is presented. The method includes parsing data based upon a predefined context definition. Further, the method includes interpreting the parsed data based on the predefined context definition. In addition, the method includes adding contextual attributes to the interpreted data to generate meta-data. Systems and computer-readable medium that afford functionality of the type defined by this method is also contemplated in conjunction with the present technique.
Claims25
A method for retrieving information of interest from data, the method comprising:
- parsing log data of a machine based upon a predefined context definition;
- interpreting the parsed log data based on the predefined context definition;
- and
- adding contextual attributes to the interpreted log data to generate meta-data;
- wherein the information of interest comprises a start of a context, an end of a context, one or more tokens, a context relationship, and a contextual attribute.
A computer readable medium comprising one or more tangible media, wherein the one or more tangible media comprise:
- code adapted to parse log data of a machine based upon a predefined context definition, wherein the code adapted to parse log data of the machine includes code adapted to extract information of interest from the log data based on the predefined context definition, the information of interest including a start of a context, an end of a context, and one or more tokens;
- code adapted to interpret the parsed log data based on the predefined context definition;
- and
- code adapted to add contextual attributes including a context relationship to the interpreted log data to generate meta-data.
An information retrieval system, comprising:
- a computer including a processor to execute code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory, the code including:
- an extractor module configured to parse log data of a machine based upon a predefined context definition and to extract information of interest from the log data based on the predefined context definition, the information of interest including a start of a context, an end of a context, and one or more tokens;
- and
- an interpreter module configured to:
- interpret the parsed log data based on the predefined context definition;
- and
- add contextual attributes including a context relationship to the interpreted log data to generate meta-data.
A system, comprising:
- a data source, wherein the data source comprises:
- an acquisition subsystem configured to acquire data;
- a processing subsystem in operative association with the acquisition subsystem and configured to:
- process the acquired data;
- generate log data of a machine;
- a data storage subsystem configured to store the log data;
- an information retrieval subsystem in operative association with the data storage subsystem and configured to:
- parse the log data based upon a predefined context definition and to extract information of interest from the log data based on the predefined context definition, the information of interest including a start of a context, an end of a context, and one or more tokens;
- interpret the parsed log data based on the predefined context definition;
- and
- add contextual attributes including a context relationship to the interpreted log data to generate meta-data.
