Regarding the Analysis of Industrial Log Files Using ML

Hello Everyone ,
I have some timestamped log files from controllers, drivers, etc of a device. I have seen some error codes in the log files whose causes are not known. I would like to analyze these log files and identify patterns, such as whether errors occur sequentially or if one error depends on another. Errors could also be triggered by other errors, potentially even from one day ago or just a sec ago . What could be the best and simplest approach to this? or if there are solution of similar problems plz let me know

Sounds like a straightforward data analysis task. No AI needed, just exploratory analysis and reporting…lmk if you need help

Hello @Shair,
To analyze timestamped log files and identify error patterns, consider using Python with libraries like pandas for data manipulation and matplotlib for visualization. You can:

  1. Parse the logs: Extract timestamps, error codes, and other relevant information using regular expressions.
  2. Load data into a DataFrame: Use pandas to organize the data for analysis.
  3. Analyze patterns: Look for sequential errors, dependencies, and correlations using pandas’ functions.
  4. Visualize results: Use matplotlib to create charts that highlight patterns and anomalies.
