Abstract
Various of the disclosed embodiments provide systems and methods to compensate for certain event log errors. For example, when a system fails to record the occurrence of several events (a file closing, a file modification, a network socket opening, etc.) the disclosed embodiments may identify the discrepancy and provide a synthesized event sequence suitable to fulfill the purposes of the event log. In this manner, for example, a client may still be accurately billed for their use of a licensed software or system, even if their usage was punctuated with occasional failures to record their activity.
