Logging Glossary: Log Preprocessing

As I mentioned here,  I started publishing the LogLogic Logging Glossary. So, here is the eleventh term (first second third fourth fifth sixth seventh eighth ninth tenth):

Log Preprocessing

1. The process of modifying or transforming a message as preparation for later stage processing.

Preprocessing can include multi-line message handling, encoding conversion, and special character substitution.

2. The prerequisite analysis of headers or other information in a log that define the formats or values present in the log messages.

The preprocessing assures correct parsing and identification of values.
