Analyzing the Logs Summary

Acceldata Pulse collects and processes logs from applications in your ecosystem, including YARN, Kafka Cruise Control, Kafka Connect, Oozie Server, HDFS, and Ranger Audits. It automatically analyzes and classifies logs by severity, such as Info, Warn, Error, Trace, and Debug.

This streamlined log management improves data observability by enabling faster issue detection, root cause analysis, and troubleshooting when applications don’t perform as expected.

Pulse also provides unified visibility into application performance and security audits. This empowers teams with actionable insights for efficient monitoring and incident response across the data ecosystem.

Key Benefits

Pulse empowers you with the following capabilities to analyze and manage application logs within your cluster effectively:

2. Flexible Log Filtering: Filter logs by service, host, and log level (Info, Warn, Error, Debug, etc.) to focus on relevant data.

3. Visual Log Insights:

   1. Histogram View:

      1. Visualize logs using a histogram, showing the number of log records over specific time frames.
      2. Apply filters by service or severity to narrow down results and identify patterns or anomalies.

   2. Dashboard View:

      1. Access an aggregated view of log severities across different services, enabling quick assessment of system health and performance.

4. Detailed Log Messages: View complete log messages with detailed information, including message body, hostname, and source, ensuring full context for incident analysis.

5. Log Grouping: Organize logs by trace ID, severity, and host, enabling structured analysis for efficient troubleshooting.

6. Log Export and Download: Download logs for deeper offline analysis, reporting, and long-term storage.

These capabilities enhance operational visibility, enabling proactive monitoring, streamlined debugging, and faster incident resolution across your data ecosystem.
