SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Analyze Go application logs by providing structured statistics and field-pattern insights to accelerate issue diagnosis.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Statistical distributions: logger name distribution, log level distribution, time-range, and top messages.
  • Prefix-tree field analysis: discover and explore common log field hierarchies and nested patterns.
  • Error and caller insights: summarize errors with context and identify most frequent call sites.
  • Use Case: When investigating a Go service with mixed zap/logrus/zerolog outputs, run the analyzer to surface patterns and hotspots.

Quick Start

Point the analyzer at your JSON log file to generate statistics and a prefix-tree field analysis.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze Go JSON logs from mixed logging frameworks like zap and logrus?

To analyze Go JSON logs from mixed frameworks like zap, logrus, and zerolog, you can run a Python-based analyzer that loads your log files and computes statistical distributions. It automatically processes varied formats to surface patterns and hotspots.

What is prefix-tree field analysis for Go log exploration?

Prefix-tree field analysis for Go log exploration is a method to discover and navigate common log field hierarchies and nested patterns. It maps structured JSON fields into a tree structure, allowing you to identify frequent field relationships and nested data.

Can I compute logger distribution and caller insights for large Go services?

Yes, you can compute logger distribution and caller insights for large Go services. The analyzer summarizes errors with context, calculates log level distributions, and identifies the most frequent call sites to help diagnose issues in large-scale applications.

What is the best way to find error patterns and hotspots in Go application logs?

The best way to find error patterns and hotspots in Go application logs is to use a structured analyzer that computes top messages, summarizes errors with context, and identifies frequent call sites. This approach accelerates issue diagnosis by highlighting statistical anomalies.

Do I need a specific log format to compute statistics and time-range distributions?

You need JSON log files to compute statistics and time-range distributions. The analyzer is applicable to varied Go log formats including zap, logrus, and zerolog, requiring structured JSON output to accurately parse fields and calculate logger distributions.
