Abstract: According to various embodiments, a method, medium, and system for exporting log messages related to a particular job running in a micro services system is described in this disclosure. The method uses a mapping table to narrow down the search scope for finding relevant log files. The mapping table maps a job attribute combination to one or more micro services, and thus will direct the search for relevant log messages only to those log files related to the one or more micro services. The search scope can be further narrowed down using a start time and end time of the job. Once the relevant log files are found, log messages containing an identifier of the job can be extracted from the relevant log files for display or for a user to download. The mapping table can be automatically generated by parsing through historical files in a system non-busy time.
