- static check patterns similar to logcheck but with extended syntax and options.
- detection of new data elements (IPs, user names, MAC addresses)
- statistical anomalies in log line values and frequencies
- correlation rules between log lines as described in th AECID approach http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cose.2014.09.006
