1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving a first message, the first message comprising a structure that includes a value and a context of the value;
searching the first message using a value pattern, the value pattern including a string pattern of the value and being different from the structure;
generating a first message description for the first message, wherein generating the first message description comprises;
identify the value from the first message that matches the value pattern;
generating a token, the token including a named string for the value; and
generating the first message description using the structure in the first message in which the token replaces the value, the first message description comprising the structure of the first message, wherein in the first message description, the token is placed in the context of the value according to the structure in the first message; and
storing the first message description as a reference to the first message.

Abstract
Messages (e.g., log messages or any form of record oriented data) are analyzed for identifiable value patterns. When a pattern is located the value is replaced by a name or “token” for the pattern, resulting in a “message description” for the message. When analysis is finished and token/value replacements are complete the message description can be stored as a reference to the message.
