logdag 0.3.1

A tool to generate causal DAGs from syslog time-series.

Overview

This package generates causal DAGs among time-series events in syslog data. This package works on python3. The input log data is loaded with AMULOG (https://github.com/amulog/amulog). The output DAG is recorded in the format of NetworkX DiGraph.

This project was partially forked from repository LogCausalAnaysis. (https://github.com/amulog/LogCausalAnalysis)

Usage

All features are available from command line. First you should try following help command python -m logdag -h.

short usage:

1. Generate amulog database (and its config) as the input log time-series source

2. Prepare logdag config file by referring logdag/data/config.conf.default

3. Generate time-series db by logdag.source features

4. Generate DAGs by subcommand makedag

5. See results by commands such as show-subgraphs

See tutorial directory for more information.
