Abstract

In some examples, a first pair of parameters in respective first and second log message streams associated with respective first and second source components and a second pair of parameters in the respective first and second log message streams may be identified. The first pair may be identical and the second pair may be identical. It may be determined that first pair of parameters was simultaneously generated and that the second pair of parameters was simultaneously generated in the first and in the second log message streams. A linkage score may be determined between the first and the second source components. The linkage score may be based on the determination that each of the respective first and the second pairs of parameters was simultaneously generated. It may be determined that that the first and second source components are topologically linked based on the linkage score.
