​
Overview

GermainUX analyzes log files generated by any technology. The GermainUX Engine detects new or changed log files, parses them into structured events, metrics, or transactions, and analyzes them in real time or on a schedule. Within Automation, log analysis turns log content into conditions that can trigger notifications and approved actions automatically, so teams do not need to search production logs manually.

​
Any Technology

GermainUX can analyze logs generated by:
  • Applications and custom software.
  • Web and application servers.
  • Databases.
  • Operating systems.
  • Containers.
  • Integration platforms.
  • APIs and services.
  • Authentication systems.
  • CRM, ERP, and eCommerce applications.
Supported formats include plain text, application and system logs, JSON, CSV and other delimited data, XML, fixed-width records, and compressed archives such as ZIP. Preconfigured parsers are available for supported applications, infrastructure technologies, and common formats. For any other log format, a custom parser can be built with GermainUX Rules to:
  • Identify record boundaries, including multiline records.
  • Extract fields such as timestamp, severity, host, user, session, transaction ID, error code, message, and duration.
  • Create events, metrics, or transactions.
  • Categorize errors and exclude irrelevant records.
  • Add application or environment context.

​
What GermainUX Detects

Log events can be correlated with user sessions, Session Replay, network requests, application transactions, database activity, infrastructure metrics, and business processes. See Correlation and Tracing. Custom KPIs can be created from any parsed value. See KPIs Management.

​
Automated Actions

When log analysis detects a qualifying condition, GermainUX can trigger approved actions such as:

​
Get Started

1

Deploy a GermainUX Engine

Install the GermainUX Engine where it can securely access the log files.
2

Create a Directory Monitor

Go to Settings > Wizards > Directory Monitor Deployment, then select the Engine, server, directory path, file patterns, and collection interval.
3

Select or build a parser

Use a preconfigured parser where available, or create a custom parser with GermainUX Rules.
4

Configure KPIs, alerts, and actions

Define the conditions of interest and the automated response.
5

Validate

Generate a controlled test condition and confirm the expected alert or action.
Logs can contain sensitive information. Collect only what is needed, mask or exclude sensitive fields, and restrict access to original files.
For full deployment, parser, remote collection, file rotation, and security details, see Files / Logs Observability.
