description For rapidly developing smart manufacturing, Industrial ICT Systems (IICTSs) have become critical to safe and reliable production, and effective monitoring of complex IICTSs in practice is necessary but challenging. Since such monitoring data are organized generally as semi-structural logs, log parsing, the fundamental premise of advanced log analysis, has to be comprehensively addressed. Because of unrealistic assumptions, high maintenance costs, and the incapability of distinguishing homologous logs, existing log parsing methods cannot simultaneously fulfill the requirements of complex IICTSs simultaneously. Focusing on these issues, we present LogParser, a deep learning-based framework for both online and offline parsing of IICTS logs. For performance evaluation, we conduct extensive experiments based on monitoring log sets from 18 different real-world systems. The results demonstrate that LogParser achieves at least a 14.5% higher parsing accuracy than the state-of-the-art methods.
