LM Logs offer intelligent log analysis with querying capabilities for all experience levels to analyze log data. But it’s most effective to know when to investigate deeper and conduct further analysis instead of trying to identify hidden trends in log data manually. The best way to determine what’s relevant now is to see if the amount of log data and message types produced in a device or service have drastically changed.
