A method, system and computer program product for handling errors in trace logs is presented. In an exemplary manner, the method includes detecting, in an error log, an error line entry for an error that is associated with a software execution. The error line entry includes a variable component and a static component. The variable component is associated with a real-time description of the software execution that changes every time the software execution occurs, and the static component is a fixed error descriptor of the error. The fixed error descriptor is parsed out from the error line entry to create a parsed static component, which is correlated with a resource that can be used to correct the error.
