Event logs are the lifeblood of process mining, containing valuable information about the execution of business processes. These logs record various data points, such as the sequence of activities, timestamps, resource assignments, and associated data elements, for each process instance.
Data extraction is a crucial step in the process mining journey, as it involves retrieving relevant event data from various sources, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, customer relationship management (CRM) applications, databases, and other information systems. The quality and completeness of the extracted data directly impact the accuracy and insights derived from process mining.

This may involve configuring information systems to log relevant events, establishing data governance practices, and implementing data extraction strategies that can handle diverse data sources and formats.
