Health Log Analytics enables you to reclassify auto-classified properties and change auto-mapped labels. These adjustments help Health Log Analytics machine learning to better understand your priorities.
Health Log Analytics automatically separates the transport header from the inner log message and sends the inner log message to the source type structure. It extracts properties from incoming log messages and auto-maps labels to source type fields.
Modifying the source type structure and classification is your chance to make sure that the Health Log Analytics AI engine extracts all the properties properly and classifies them appropriately. Because a single data input can contain more than one source type, the system structures log data by source type and not by data input.
For example, consider the following log:
The sample code contains "key":"value"
pairs. The key is the property name, and the value is the property value.
The key "message" has the following value: "This is the extracted message. This part of the message includes superfluous content and values"
. If you wanted your logs to contain only the meaningful part of that
message, you would add JavaScript code instructing the system to extract only that part.
You could use the same logic to reclassify a value. For example, if the key "Computer" is insignificant, you could set its value to "Invalid".
