Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
deriving an input matrix from a dataset of system log messages included in at least one system log file of a storage system, the input matrix including rows representing the system log messages, columns representing unique terms included in the system log messages, and counts of the unique terms in each of the system log messages;
applying a Term Frequency—Inverse Document Frequency (TF-IDF) algorithm to the input matrix to derive a TF-IDF matrix, the TF-IDF matrix including importance values for the unique terms in each of the system log messages;
applying a Cosine Similarity (CS) algorithm to the TF-IDF matrix to derive a plurality of CS vectors, each CS vector including similarity scores for a respective one of the system log messages relative to all the other system log messages included in the at least one system log file;
applying a clustering algorithm to the plurality of CS vectors to obtain groupings of the system log messages; and
having derived the groupings of the system log messages, storing and/or displaying the groupings to a user for triage and/or analysis.
