Log management system and method for distributed computing systems
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A log management system comprising:
- a computing device comprising at least one processor and at least one memory to store instructions that are executed by the at least one processor to;
obtain a first log entry from a first resource of a distributed computing system;
append a unique identifier to the first log entry, the unique identifier based on information obtained from a data packet encapsulating the first log entry;
obtain resource information regarding the first resource by performing a lookup using the unique identifier, the resource information identifying resources of the distributed computing system correlated to the first resource;
identify, from the resource information, a second resource of the distributed computing system, the second resource correlated to the first resource;
obtain a second log entry from the second resource;
generate a combined log entry from the first log entry and the second log entry, the combined log entry including data from each of the first log entry and the second log entry; and
display the combined log entry on a display.

Abstract
A log management system includes a computer executable application that may be executed to obtain a first log entry from a first resource of a distributed computing system having multiple resources, and obtain resource information about at least one other resource of the distributed computing system that is correlated with the first resource. From the resource information, the application obtains one or more log entries from the correlated resource, and displays the first log entry and the correlated log entry on a display.

10. A log management method comprising:
-
obtaining, using an application stored in a non-transitory medium and executed on at least one processor, a first log entry from a first resource of a distributed computing system having a plurality of resources; appending a unique identifier to the first log entry, the unique identifier based on information obtained from a data packet encapsulating the first log entry; obtaining resource information regarding the first resource by performing a lookup using the unique identifier, the resource information identifying resources of the distributed computing system correlated to the first resource; identifying, from the resource information, a second resource of the distributed computing system, the second resource correlated to the first resource; obtaining a second log entry from the second resource; generating a combined log entry from the first log entry and the second log entry, the combined log entry including data from each of the first log entry and the second log entry; and displaying the combined log entry on a display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. One or more non-transitory tangible computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:
-
obtain a first log entry from a first resource of a distributed computing system; obtain resource information regarding the first resource, the resource information identifying resources of the distributed computing system correlated to the first resource; append a unique identifier to the first log entry, the unique identifier based on information obtained from a data packet encapsulating the first log entry; identify, from the resource information, a second resource of the distributed computing system by performing a lookup using the unique identifier, the second resource correlated to the first resource; obtain a second log entry from the second resource; generate a combined log entry from the first log entry and the second log entry, the combined log entry including data from each of the first log entry and the second log entry; and display the combined log entry on a display. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
