Searching and visualizing data

This section outlines how to use the IBM® Operations Analytics - Log Analysis Search workspace to search your indexed data and to display this data in charts and dashboards.

To find the root cause of a problem experienced by users such as slowness or a failure, you can search through data such as log files, traces, configuration information, and utilization data. This type of search is iterative because the results for one search might lead to a set of other searches. An example of iterative search is finding the connection timeout in the error logs, which could lead you find the connection pool utilization details.
