  • Patent number: 11797538
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include computer systems, computer-implemented methods, and computer program products configured to perform message correlation extraction for mainframe operation. A non-limiting example computer-implemented method includes receiving a first message log entry having a message identifier and message field data. The first message log entry is pre-processed to determine the message identifier and to tokenize the message field data. A second message log entry is identified based on at least one of the message identifier and the tokenized message field data. The method further includes determining that the second message log entry is correlated with the first message log entry and providing an output comprising the message correlation between the first message log entry and the second message log entry.

  • Patent number: 11599404
    Abstract: According to an aspect, a method includes searching for a correlated log identifier in a correlation database based on detecting a metrics-based anomaly. The method also includes providing, in a problem diagnosis, related log information associated with the correlated log identifier based on locating one or more log entries including the correlated log identifier in a same time window as the metrics-based anomaly. The method further includes searching for a correlated metric in the correlation database based on detecting a log-based anomaly and providing, in the problem diagnosis, related metric information associated with the correlated metric based on locating one or more metrics records including the correlated metric in the same time window as the log-based anomaly.

  • Patent number: 11513930
    Abstract: Techniques include collecting current logs from distributed sources, selecting a group of the current logs that are from a related source of the distributed sources, and generating a feature vector using the group of the current logs. A current status model is created for the feature vector using the group of the current logs. One or more anomalies are determined in the group of the current logs based on a difference between the current status model and a reference status model, the reference status model being based on history logs.

  • Patent number: 11474892
    Abstract: Techniques include generating a log sequence for new logs that have been received, searching a log sequence database for the log sequence having been generated, and determining that the log sequence is anomalous in response to not finding an identical log sequence in the log sequence database. In response to the log sequence not being found in the log sequence database, the log sequence is compared to a graph of historical log sequences to find a closest sequence path to one or more historical log sequences. An anomaly of the log sequence is diagnosed based on an occurrence at which the log sequence deviates from the closest sequence path of the one or more historical log sequences.

  • Patent number: 11403326
    Abstract: Aspects of the invention include determining whether a first log message written by an application during a first job is a message of interest based on a context of the first log message and a probability that the application writes the message for a same job as the first job. Calculating in response to determining that the first log message is a message of interest and by the processor, a correlation score based on intersecting tokens between the first log message and a second log message. Determining the first log message correlates to the second log message based on comparing the score to a threshold score. Modifying a system log of a mainframe to link the first log message to the second log message based on the correlation.
