First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method implemented by a computer, comprising:
- receiving a log file with log file data characterizing the operation of a system;
proposing a normalized format for the log file data;
soliciting user input on the normalized format;
setting the normalized format;
converting the log file data to the normalized format;
selecting a visualization application operative with the normalized format, wherein selecting includes selecting the visualization application from a plurality of visualization applications each operative with the normalized format and wherein selecting is based upon properties of the normalized format, wherein the plurality of visualization applications includes a bit signal application configured to present one of two states in the log file data; and
supplying, by the visualization application, visualizations of the log file data.

Abstract
A method implemented by a computer includes receiving a log file with log file data characterizing the operation of a system. A normalized format for the log file data is proposed. User input on the normalized format is solicited. The normalized format is set. The log file data is converted to the normalized format. A visualization application operative with the normalized format is selected. The visualization application supplies visualizations of the log file data.
