Abstract
One embodiment provides a method including: collecting system log files comprising a plurality of log messages representing activity within the system; generating a plurality of message templates by (i) clustering the plurality of messages into groups having similar activity patterns and (ii) generating a message template for each of the groups; identifying message templates of interest and determining the message templates representing actual end-user events as opposed to system events, wherein the determining comprises (i) identifying a seed set of event types that represent known end-user events based upon identifying the event as being known to be initiated by a user and (ii) correlating the event to the known end-user event based upon a time correlation between the known end-user event and the event within the message template of interest.
