Temporal Relations Extraction and Analysis of Log Events for Micro-service Framework

Micro-service is a prevalent framework for Internet services. Its loosing coupling design has gained popularity recently. Loosing coupling services offer convenience, scalability and flexibility, however bring unexpected maintenance problems. This paper focuses on the problem where service administrations attempt to monitor the runtime services performance and status with mined service logs. To achieve it, we propose to extract unstructured logs as log patterns and visualise the services temporal relations using temporal graphs. Our analysis and data mining method can help to give new insights in system management area and non-trivial analysis process. The early experiments and analysis can clearly reveal inner structures of system and help to gain deep understanding.
