bookSummarizing Log Data

Summarizing log data is crucial for DevOps reporting because it transforms raw, often overwhelming log files into clear, actionable insights. When you summarize logs, you quickly spot trends, recurring issues, and system health at a glance. Instead of reading through thousands of lines, you can focus on what matters—such as how many errors occurred, which warnings are frequent, and whether your systems are running smoothly. This enables faster troubleshooting, better resource allocation, and improved communication with your team.

# Sample log data as a list of log messages logs = [ "[INFO] Application started", "[WARNING] Disk space low", "[ERROR] Failed to connect to database", "[INFO] User login successful", "[ERROR] Timeout occurred", "[WARNING] High memory usage", "[INFO] Scheduled job executed", "[ERROR] Unable to write to file" ] # Initialize counters for each log level summary = {"INFO": 0, "WARNING": 0, "ERROR": 0} # Count occurrences of each log level for log in logs: if "[INFO]" in log: summary["INFO"] += 1 elif "[WARNING]" in log: summary["WARNING"] += 1 elif "[ERROR]" in log: summary["ERROR"] += 1 print("Log Summary:", summary)

Dictionaries in Python are powerful tools for counting and summarizing data. By using log levels as keys and their counts as values, you can efficiently tally how many times each type of message appears. This approach is both memory-efficient and fast, allowing you to update counts on the fly as you process each log entry. With a dictionary, you can easily add more log levels or adjust your summary logic as your needs evolve.
