RNDr. Vlastislav Dohnal, Ph.D. iii Acknowledgement I would like to express my gratitude to doc. RNDr. Vlastislav Dohnal, Ph.D. for his guidance and help during work on this thesis. Furthermore I would like to thank my parents, friends and family for their continuous support. My thanks also belongs to my boyfriend for all his assistance and help. v Abstract The goal of this thesis is to introduce the log analysis area in general, compare available systems for web log analysis, choose an appropriate solution for sample data and implement the proposed solution. Thesis contains overview of monitoring and log analysis, specifics of application log analysis and log file formats definitions. Various available systems for log analysis both proprietary and open-source are compared and categorized with overview comparison tables of supported functionality. Based on the comparison and requirements analysis appropriate solution for sample data is chosen. The ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana) and ElastAlert framework are deployed and configured for analysis of sample application log data. Logstash configuration is adjusted for collecting, parsing and processing sample data input supporting reading from file as well as online socket logs collection. Additional information for anomaly detection is computed and added to log records in Logstash processing.

  • Using Matomo in EBSCO's Discovery Service
    ARTICLES Analytics and Privacy Using Matomo in EBSCO’s Discovery Service Denise FitzGerald Quintel and Robert Wilson ABSTRACT When selecting a web analytics tool, academic libraries have traditionally turned to Google Analytics for data collection to gain insights into the usage of their web properties. As the valuable field of data analytics continues to grow, concerns about user privacy rise as well, especially when discussing a technology giant like Google. In this article, the authors explore the feasibility of using Matomo, a free and open-source software application, for web analytics in their library’s discovery layer. Matomo is a web analytics platform designed around user-privacy assurances. This article details the installation process, makes comparisons between Matomo and Google Analytics, and describes how an open-source analytics platform works within a library-specific application, EBSCO’s Discovery Service. INTRODUCTION In their 2016 article from The Serials Librarian, Adam Chandler and Melissa Wallace summarized concerns with Google Analytics (GA) by reinforcing how “reader privacy is one of the core tenets of librarianship.”1 For that reason alone, Chandler and Wallace worked to implement and test Piwik (now known as Matomo) on the library sites at Cornell University. Taking a cue from Chandler and Wallace, the authors of this paper sought out an analytics solution that was robust and private, that could easily work within their discovery interface, and provide the same data as their current analytics and discovery service implementation. This paper will expand on some of the concerns from the 2016 Wallace and Chandler article, make comparisons, and provide installation details for other libraries.

  • A Survey on Automated Log Analysis for Reliability Engineering
    A Survey on Automated Log Analysis for Reliability Engineering SHILIN HE, Microsoft Research PINJIA HE, Department of Computer Science, ETH Zurich ZHUANGBIN CHEN, TIANYI YANG, YUXIN SU, and MICHAEL R. LYU, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Logs are semi-structured text generated by logging statements in software source code. In recent decades, software logs have become imperative in the reliability assurance mechanism of many software systems because they are often the only data available that record software runtime information. As modern software is evolving into a large scale, the volume of logs has increased rapidly. To enable effective and efficient usage of modern software logs in reliability engineering, a number of studies have been conducted on automated log analysis. This survey presents a detailed overview of automated log analysis research, including how to automate and assist the writing of logging statements, how to compress logs, how to parse logs into structured event templates, and how to employ logs to detect anomalies, predict failures, and facilitate diagnosis. Additionally, we survey work that releases open-source toolkits and datasets. Based on the discussion of the recent advances, we present several promising future directions toward real-world and next-generation automated log analysis. CCS Concepts: • Software and its engineering ! Software maintenance tools; Software creation and management. Additional Key Words and Phrases: log, log analysis, logging, log compression, log parsing, log mining.
