Patent attributes
A system and method are disclosed for providing metric recommendations by a cloud event log analytics system. The log analytics system includes a user interface which allows users to view metric recommendations, view, modify, annotate, delete, or create log metrics. In a first embodiment, centroid vectors are created from metadata associated with user access of log metrics. The centroid vectors are compared to metrics vectors created from log metrics and the results are ranked and provided to users as metric recommendations. In a second embodiment, classification rules are inferred for metric matrix tables containing metadata about log metric usage. Classification rules are assigned to a decision tree used to calculate composite probabilities of interest of log metrics. A recommendation matrix incorporate the composite probabilities of interest to predict the degree of interest an analytics user may have in a log metric for a given role.
