We get many questions on whether software log analysis patterns from Software Diagnostics Institute95 are OS or platform or product specific. Our answer is that they are independent from all of them because they are based on viewing software logs as stories of computation and were discovered by application of narratological analysis (software narratology96). In addition to these patterns there exist domain specific problem patterns such as wrong hotfix level or specific product error code during software installation or execution.
