Filter certain traces based on event sequence

edited June 2011 in - Usage
Hi there,

I my log file I have some traces which should not be considered. Those particular traces contain a certain sequence of events. How can I filter out all of those traces with that sequence (pattern abstraction?)?

Thanks,
Ralf

  • Hi Ralf,

    It is unclear on what you meant by filtering. If you are interested in selecting only those traces that contain the pattern (event sequence), then pattern abstractions plug-in can help you in that. However if you want to consider all traces that do not contain the event sequence, then it is not possible with pattern abstractions.

    I make an assumption that the event sequence repeats in multiple traces or within a trace.

    Best Regards,

  • Hi JC, indeed, I want to consider all traces that do not contain a certain sequence of events. This sequence appears in multiple traces.

    Thanks,
    Ralf
  • Hi Ralf,

    I think this is possible with an LTL formula. If the standard formula's don't contain a sequence of activities that is long enough then you can specify your own LTL formula's to fit your purpose.
    See the LTL documentation here to get started:
