Source-Level Diagnosis: Grouping fingerprints by source allows you to understand which parts of your system are generating specific log patterns. For example, if a certain error fingerprint is seen predominantly from a specific service (such as an authentication service), this could indicate that service is the source of the issue. Without grouping by source, you may miss the root cause.
Resource Allocation and Scaling: If one particular source (like an API gateway or database) is generating a disproportionate number of fingerprints, it may indicate a bottleneck or resource contention issue. Understanding this allows for more targeted scaling or resource allocation to that part of the system to ensure overall system health.
Faster Troubleshooting: When logs are grouped by source, it becomes much easier to identify which part of the system is responsible for certain issues. If you know that certain fingerprints correspond to recurring problems (e.g., database errors, network issues, etc.), tracking those patterns by source helps you focus on the right area quickly.
