Towards a Classification of Log Parsing Errors
Mon 15 May 2023 14:33 - 14:38 at Meeting Room 106 - Human Aspects, Testing and Logs Chair(s): Michael J. Decker
Log parsing is a technique that is used to extract structures from unstructured log data. It is a key enabler for many log analytic tasks including debugging, fault diagnosis, anomaly detection, and AIOps. In recent years, we have seen an increase in the number of log parsing techniques and tools. The accuracy of these tools varies significantly. To improve log parsing tools, we need to understand the type of parsing errors they make, which is the purpose of this early research track paper. We achieve this by examining errors of four leading log parsing tools when applied to the parsing of four log datasets generated from various systems. Based on this analysis, we suggest a preliminary classification of log parsing errors, which contains nine categories of errors. We believe that this classification is a good starting point for improving the accuracy of log parsing tools, and also defining better logging practices.
