System, method, and computer readable media for identifying a user-initiated log file record in a log file
First Claim
1. A method for identifying log file records, the method comprising:
- a computer identifying a first plurality of log file records of commands in a log file, each log file record in the first plurality of log file records of commands having been entered into the log file by a software program, the first plurality of log file records of commands being a subset of a second plurality of log file records of commands in the log file, the second plurality of log file records of commands having been entered into the log file between a first time and a second time;
the computer extracting the first plurality of log file records of commands from the second plurality of log file records of commands;
the computer identifying at least one log file record of commands remaining from the second plurality of log file records of commands after the extracting, the at least one log file record of commands remaining from the second plurality of log file records of commands after the extracting being a log fife record of commands that captures a command to perform a user initiated task so that the at least one log file record of commands remaining from the second plurality of log file records of commands after the extracting comprises a record of a command to perform a user initiated task, wherein the computer extracting includes the computer removing log file records of commands that are part of a first repeating pattern of log file records, the computer examining log file records of commands to determine the first repeating pattern of log file records prior to the first time.

Abstract
A system, a method, and a computer readable media for identifying a user-initiated log file record in a log file are provided. The log file has a user-initiated log file record and a repeating pattern of log file records automatically generated by a software program. The system allows a user to identify first and second timestamp values corresponding to first and second times which identify a time interval of interest in the log file. The system further analyzes the log file to identify the user-initiated log file record having a timestamp value between the first and second timestamp values. The system further identifies the repeating pattern of log file records in the log file.
