LogReduce

The LogReduce® algorithm uses fuzzy logic to cluster messages together based on string and pattern similarity. Use the LogReduce button and operator to quickly assess activity patterns for things like a range of devices or traffic on a website.

info

The summarize operator has been renamed to logreduce to match the LogReduce button on the Messages tab. Both operators will continue to work in search queries as synonyms for a limited time. We recommend that you rewrite saved queries replacing summarize with LogReduce.

Micro Lesson

Watch our video on LogReduce. 

In this section, we'll introduce the following concepts:

icon

LogReduce Operator

Allows you to quickly assess activity patterns for things like a range of devices or traffic on a website.

icon

Detect Patterns with LogReduce

Group messages with similar structures and patterns, providing insight into specific keywords or time range.

icon

LogReduce Keys

Clusters JSON logs based on keys providing an at-a-glance summary of patterns in logs based on their schema while ignoring specific values.

icon

LogReduce Values

Clusters JSON logs using the values of keys.

icon

LogReduce Relevance Column

Displays a numerical score for a signature, predicting which signatures could be most meaningful.

icon

Influence the LogReduce Outcome

Influence the algorithm by editing a signature to increase or decrease your results granularity.
