Understanding Compass’s Diagnostic Process
Imagine you are a doctor diagnosing a patient. In the case of Compass, the logs act like vital signs providing clues about the “health” of your big data processing environment. Just as a doctor uses symptoms to identify diseases, Compass analyzes logs using a drain algorithm to detect and categorize issues based on predefined templates. This systematic approach allows for timely and accurate diagnosis.
