Using Log Files as Knowledge Bases
Dapeng Liu, Shaochun Xu, Huafu Liu · 2013
Logging has been mainly used as a debugging aid. We think log files contain a large amount of information which can be used as knowledge bases for different purposes. In this paper, we discuss some key points of holding this view point, list some related Java code, and exhibit some log pieces to demonstrate the usage. We also propose some ways to manage log files. The idea we suggest here might help improving software development process.
