CORRELATION OF TIME SERIES SIGNALS USING SHAPE IDENTIFICATION VALUES

Some embodiments relate to analyzing log records. A method may include determining a first shape identification value that characterizes a shape described by data points of a first time series signal that represents a time distribution of timestamps of a first plurality of messages. For each message among a second plurality of messages, the method may also include determining a shape identification value for the message that characterizes a shape described by data points of a corresponding time series signal that represents a time distribution of timestamps of a plurality of instances of the message. The method may further include determining that a shape identification value, from among the shape identification values for the second plurality of messages, is the same as the first shape identification value and, in response to the determining, providing information identifying the corresponding message to a user interface.
