How to convert log events into numbers

[alishan2040]

Hi,
thanks for providing this implementation. I had found a number of deeplog implementations online but this one seems more suitable for my case. I've a log file which only contain names of the events and machine which produced. For example;

bot.init.started, bot1
bot.connection.established, bot1
bot.message.sent, bot1
...
I want to train deeplog on the normal execution of the bot while detect anomalies on the abnormal sequence of execution. As there are 9 different types of events produced by a single machine, I marked them from 0 to 8 in a single session. Is this approach going to work or have to extract templates? Is there a proper method which transforms these event ids into numbers for training deeplog. I'm not clear as most of the deeplog implementations are very specific to certain type of logs such as HDFS.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am glad you liked our implementation.

Manually transforming these logs will certainly work.
We do provide a preprocessor that performs this process automatically: Preprocessor.csv.
However, our preprocessor requires there to be timestamps within the csv file, so you would have to add them yourself.
If they are already in order, I believe you can have simple incremental timestamps (e.g., 0, 1, 2, ...) or simply set all timestamps to 0.
