LOG FILE COMPRESSION
First Claim
1. A method for compressing a log file, the method comprising:
- identifying one or more fields in a log file based on at least one field rule from among a plurality of field rules specified in a log file framework;
extracting contents of the log file associated with the one or more fields; and
passing the contents associated with the one or more fields to corresponding compression engines from among a plurality of compression engines each specified for performing a separate type of compression from among a plurality of types of compression for each of the one or more fields, wherein each of the one or more fields corresponds to one or more compression engines from among the plurality of compression engines.

Abstract
A compression system identifies one or more fields in a log file based on at least one field rule from among multiple field rules specified in a log file framework. The compression system extracts contents of the log file associated with the one or more fields. The compression system passes the contents associated with the one or more fields to corresponding compression engines from among a multiple compression engines each specified for performing a separate type of compression from among multiple types of compression for each of the one or more fields, wherein each of the one or more fields corresponds to one or more compression engines from among the multiple compression engines.
