Label Packages

Label Packages are the collection of labeling rules. Labeling Rules are search terms that apply specific labels to log messages. Using labels, you can group the similar logs together. Labels are made up of distinct words from a log that characterize that particular log message.

In LogPoint, there are two types of Label Packages.

  1. Vendor Packages: The label packages bundled with the LogPoint installation.

  2. My Packages: The label packages that you add.
