Abstract: Log messages are compressed, searched, and decompressed. A dictionary is used to store non-numeric expressions found in log messages. Both numeric and non-numeric expressions found in log messages are represented by placeholders in a string of log “type” information. Another dictionary is used to store the log type information. A compressed log message contains a key to the log-type dictionary and a sequence of values that are keys to the non-numeric dictionary and/or numeric values. Searching may be performed by parsing a search query into subqueries that target the dictionaries and/or content of the compressed log messages. A dictionary may reference segments that contain a number of log messages, so that all log message need not be considered for some searches.

Abstract: A log of execution of an executable program is obtained. Log messages contained in the log are parsed to generate object identifiers representative of instances of programmatic elements in the executable program. Relationships among the object identifiers are identified. A representation of identified relationships is constructed and outputted as, for example, a visual representation.
