Abstract:
Due to the availability of virtualization technologies and related cloud infrastructures, the amount and also the complexity of logging data of systems and services grow steadily. Automated correlation and aggregation techniques are required to support a contemporary processing and interpretation of relevant logging data. In the past, this was achieved using highly centralized logging systems. Based on this fact, the paper introduces a prototype for an automated semantical correlation, aggregation and condensation of logging information. The prototype uses RESTful web services to store and analyze the logging data of distributed logging sources. In this context we will also present the special requirements of handling logging systems in highly dynamic infrastructures like enterprise cloud environments, which provide dynamic systems, services and applications.
