A self-learning system for categorizing log entries may be provided. A text classifier may identify a log description of a log entry in response to text of the log description being associated with indicators of a word model. A datafield classifier may generate a datafield metrics including an accuracy of the categorical identifiers representing the datafield. A metafield classifier may generate a context metrics for the context of the log entry, the context metrics including an accuracy categorical identifiers representing the metafields. A combination classifier may form a weighted classification set and select a categorical identifier as being representative of the datafield based on the weighted classification set. A categorical controller may identify new categories based on an analysis of the context metrics of the log entry.
