LION is an open-source project that combines the power of existing unsupervised techniques of log analysis with the Large Language Models (LLMs). The goal of the project is to provide a conversable interface to analyzing logs.
Log is a historical record of everything that happens in the system. While LLMs have made it easy to analyze logs, they have a problem of focusing on the important portions of the log file.
What LION as a project is attempting to do is to reduce the log data to a few lines of interest using existing unsupervised methods and then feeding this as context to the LLMs to make the conversation more reliable.
This document is a good starting point. Users can set it up in a MacOS or Linux (e.g., Ubuntu 20.04). For other OS platforms, a Linux VM can be used.
