ABSTRACT
Day-to-Day we use computer for everything. Main thing we depend on computers for computing. For this purpose we build a large architecture of computers to do work for us. This architecture is maintain by the Qualified Persons i.e. System Administrator. Every architecture will generate information about the working of it. So this information is termed as Events i.e. activities done in architecture. Based on this events System Administrator has to take spot decision for the next action.

INTRODUCTION
Message type or message cluster extraction is an important task in automatic pplication log analysis. When the message types that exist in a log file are defined, they form the basis for carrying out other automatic application log analysis tasks. In this paper we introduce a novel algorithm(IPLoM) for carrying out this task. IPLoM( Iterative Partitioning Log Mining) works through a 4-step process is the proposed solution.

EXISTING SYSTEM
For every Architecture we get thousands of events are generated. For clustering this events previously they have designed algorithms like SLCT(Simple Log File Clustering Tool) and Log-hound for clustering the events automatically and discover the events. But these algorithms do not match any frequent patterns discovered in event log files. There are some other algorithms which are traditional clustering algorithms :CLIQUE, CURE, MAFIA which are only capable of clustering the high dimensional data but these algorithms can not able to deal with different attribute types. Hence we proposed a new solution called IPLoM.

PROPOSED SYSTEM
The Proposed algorithm is IPLOM(Iterative Partitioning Log Mining) a novel algorithm for the mining of event type patterns from event logs. IPLOM not only finds frequent textual patterns,it also aims to find all possible patterns. IPLOM works through 3 step partitioning process which divide events into respective clusters. In fourth stage it produces the cluster description for each leaf partition of the events.

MODULES
There are 5 modules in this project, those are : 1.File_Prune Function 2.Partition by Event Size 3.Partition by Token Position 4.Partition by Search For Bijection 5.Discover Message Type Descriptions From Each Partition.

MODULE 1 (File_ Prune Function)

This module is used to check whether the token are within the size or not if not the event will remove from the event log file.

MODULE 2 (Partition By Event Size)

This module is used to check event size. As depends on the token size we are dividing the total events into clusters of their sizes.

MODULE 3 (Partition By Token Position)

This Module is used to divide the events based on the token position in the message with the comparing of the token in the message.

MODULE -4 (Partition By Search For Bijection)

This Module is used to divide the events based on the 1:1, 1:M, M:1, M:M. So this will help to extract the message easier from the event log file.

MODULE -5(Discover Message Type Descriptions From Each Partition)

By implementing the above all the module message is extracted from the event log file. Here we need to give the message type descriptions for the events in the clusters.
