Abstract

A system and method for deduplicating analyzing system logs is disclosed. The method includes capturing, by an image acquisition component, an image of at least one log entry, converting, by an image processing component, text in the image of the at least one log entry to machine-encoded text, and scanning, by a log scanning component, the machine-encoded text for the at least one redundant copy of the at least one log entry. The method also includes removing, by the log scanning component, the at least one redundant copy of the at least one log entry, determining, by a log analysis component, if the at least one log entry is significant, flagging the at least one log entry if the log entry is significant, and alerting a user if the log entry is flagged.
