  • Patent number: 9785688
    Abstract: A system, and computer program product for automated analysis and visualization of log data are provided in the illustrative embodiments. A subset of information to be visualized is selected from a set of information. Each information in the set comprises a result of a corresponding analysis technique applied to the log data. For an information in the subset of information, a tagged portion of the log data is analyzed according to the corresponding analysis technique to discern the information. The information corresponds to a tag used in conjunction with the tagged portion. For the information, a manner of visualizing the information is selected. A set of graphical visualizations comprising a corresponding graphical visualization for each information is generated, including a visualization in the selected manner of visualizing the information. The graphical visualizations in the set are combined such that a subset of graphical visualization is selectable for presentation.
