Gain insights into diagnostic techniques and anomaly detection with over 200 trace and log analysis patterns, applicable across various software environments, operating systems, and platforms.

General trace and log analysis patterns allow the application of uniform diagnostics and anomaly detection across diverse software environments. It includes troubleshooting, debugging, describing, and explaining problems and incidents on various operating systems and platforms. It is also helpful in recording network traces, malware, general data, narratives, and text and image analysis (space-like narratology). This course, organized as a pattern language dictionary and cross-referenced with classification, explains and teaches more than 200 traces and log analysis patterns.

A Guide to Learning Software Trace and Log Analysis Patterns

## Inter-correlation
The **Inter-correlation** pattern is analogous to the previously described [intra-correlation](https://www.educative.io/courses/guide-learning-software-trace-log-analysis-patterns/intra-correlation-macrofunction-motif-motivic-trace) pattern, but it involves several traces from possibly different trace agents recorded (most commonly) during or at the same time as an overlapping time interval.
