Abstract4Application logs record the behavior of a system during its runtime and their analysis can provide useful information.In this article, we propose a method of automated log analysis to discover interactions taking place between applications in an enterprise.We believe that such an automated approach can greatly support enterprise architects in building an up-to-date view of a governed system in a modern, fast-paced development environment.Our contribution is the following: we propose a new method for log template generation called SLT (Simple Log Template), we propose a method of extracting knowledge about application interactions from logs, and we validate the proposed methods on a real system running at Nordea Bank.Additionally, we collect statistical information about application logs from the real-life system, based on which we formulate some observations that support our method.
