Log file correlation schemas

There are different types of log file correlations, depending on the correlation schemas that you select:

Correlation by Time
Any of the log types can be displayed by time-based sequencing. When two records have the same timestamp, they will be correlated with each other.

Correlation by URLs and Time
This type of correlation can involve multiple access logs, error logs, and trace logs, and will correlate logs by sequence and those that are closest in time.

The following are examples of such correlation:

Correlation by Application IDs and Time
This type of correlation can involve multiple diagnostic logs and trace logs, and will correlate logs by application IDs and time.

The following are examples of such correlation:

Correlation by URLs, Application IDs and Time
This type of correlation can involve multiple access logs, error logs, diagnostic logs and trace logs, and will correlate logs by sequence and those that are closest in time and then by application IDs and time.

The following are examples of such correlation:

Correlation by Host Name, Database Name, Application IDs and Time
This type of correlation can involve multiple trace logs, and will correlate logs by application IDs, host name, database name and time.

The following are examples of such correlation:

Correlation by PMI Request Metrics
This type of correlation can involve multiple trace logs, and will correlate logs by PMI Request Metrics.

The following are examples of such correlation:
