A Tool for Analyzing and Detecting Anomalies in Unstructured Log Data
Sharayu Subhash Bokade, Poornima B. Kulkarni · 2024
The increasing complexity and volume of log data created by modern IT infrastructure presents numerous substantial problems for enterprises seeking to extract meaningful insights from this data. Traditional log analysis is time-consuming and prone to human error, making it difficult for enterprises to proactively discover and address possible security risks or system faults. To solve this issue, present an anomaly detection method for an unstructured log-data. The program analyzes log data automatically using advanced ML(machine learning) algorithms such as unsupervised outlier identification models(one-class SVM), isolation forest, and local outlier filter (LOF) for anomaly detection to discover aberrant behaviors or strange patterns that may signal potential security threats or system faults. When abnormalities are found, it sends real-time alerts and detailed information, allowing enterprises to identify and react to possible dangers or concerns before they become severe. The anomaly detection tool is adaptable and customizable, allowing enterprises to tailor it to their individual needs and integrate it with their existing IT infrastructure. Overall, the anomaly detection tool for unstructured log data gives good performance tested against different log patterns. It provides a strong solution for enterprises to improve their overall level of security and operational performance by proactively recognizing and responding to any attacks or vulnerabilities in their IT infrastructure.
