1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:

  • receiving event data in a log file;

    transforming the event data into attribute/value pairs;

    generating an index mapping at least one of the attribute/value pairs to a reference pointer that references an instance of event data in the log file, the instance of event data in the log file including a textual message from which the attribute/value pair was transformed;

    generating an attribute co-occurrence data structure, the attribute co-occurrence data structure identifying a relationship between a first attribute in the attribute/value pairs and a second attribute in the attribute/value pairs, where existence of the relationship between the first attribute and the second attribute indicates that reports for finding a textual message including both the first attribute and the second attribute are allowable; and

    in response to a query including the first attribute, generating a report based on the attribute co-occurrence data structure and the attribute/value pairs in the index, including;

    identifying the second attribute based on the relationship identified in the attribute co-occurrence data structure;

    identifying an attribute/value pair that includes the second attribute; and

    generating the report, including providing access to the event data in the log file using a reference pointer that is mapped to the identified attribute/value pair in the index,where the method is performed by one or more processors.
