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

The analysis pattern language we learned in this course is not limited to software traces and logs. Check the following resources to explore how it can be applied to software security and networks:

* _Malware Narratives: An Introduction_ (ISBN-13: 978-1908043481)
* _Pattern-Oriented Network Trace Analysis_ (ISBN-13: 978-1908043580)

Thank you for doing this course. We hope you now enjoy looking at software traces and logs from a pattern-oriented perspective.
