Hi,

Log normalization happens when collecting logs from different sources
(servers, network equipments, applications etc.). Since all logs sources
are using different formats and vocabularies to report events, the idea
is to have a set of rules to describe what modifications you want to do
and the conditions to check. Normalizing your logs means you ensure they
will all follow a common standard.
