Claim One:
1. A method for heterogeneous log analysis, comprising: performing hierarchical log clustering on heterogeneous logs to generate a log cluster hierarchy for the heterogeneous logs by pruning search space for efficient querying, the pruning reducing processing time and memory requirements for the querying, the log cluster hierarchy including log clusters conforming to heterogenous and unknown log formats, the unknown log formats being domain-knowledge-free, and including logs from arbitrary and unknown applications; performing, by a log pattern recognizer device having a processor, log pattern recognition on the log cluster hierarchy to generate log pattern representations, the log pattern recognition determining optimal representative layouts and log fields by executing context-free motif discovery within the log clusters; generating log field statistics by automatically performing domain-knowledge-free log field analysis on the log pattern representations; performing log indexing on the log pattern representations to generate searchable log indexes; and searching the log cluster hierarchy based on the log indexes and the log field statistics responsive to a log query to generate log query results.
