Hi, The initial use case I had with Log Analyzer was, as a general log analysis tool, where users can just point to a log location, can be WSO2/non-WSO2 logs, and run queries against it / create dashboards. The concern I've with integrating log analyzer also with our new analytics distributions is, whether we will have some considering overlapping functionality between the two. The DAS4X analytics effort is to basically create mostly the static dashboards that would be there (maybe with alerts), which can be successfully done by internally publishing all the events required for those. But then, if we also say, you can/should use log analyzer (which is a different UI/experience altogether) to create dashboards/queries, that we missed from the earlier effort, that does not sound right.
So the point is, as I see, if we do the pure DAS4X solution right for a product, they do not have an immediate need to use the log analysis features again to do any custom analysis. But of course, if they want to process the logs also nevertheless, they can setup the log analyzer product and do it, for example, as a replacement to syslog, for centralized log storage. Cheers, Anjana.
