amulog 0.3.10

Amulog is a tool to support system log management.
The main function is to classify log messages with automatically generated log templates (formats and variable locations),
and to store the data in a database.
This system works on python3.

Search API with datetime, hostname and log template IDs



Tutorial

Install
$ pip install amulog


Generate config
For the first step, save following config as test.conf on an empty directory.
[general]
src_path = logfile.txt
src_recur = false
logging = auto.log

[database]
database = sqlite3
sqlite3_filename = log.db

[log_template]
lt_methods = drain
indata_filename = ltgen.dump
Then modify general.src_path option to a logfile you want to load.
(If you want to use multiple files, change general.src_recur into true and specify directory name to general.src_path.)


Generate database
Try following command to generate database:
$ python -m amulog db-make -c test.conf


Check database
$ python -m amulog show-db-info -c test.conf
shows status of the generated database.
$ python -m amulog show-lt -c test.conf
shows all generated log templates in the given logfile.
$ python -m amulog show-log -c test.conf ltid=2
shows all log messages corresponding to log template ID 2.


Resume generating database
Try following command to resume generating database:
$ python -m amulog db-add -c test.conf logfile2.txt


Export and Import templates
Following command exports all log templates in the database:
$ python3 -m amulog show-db-import -c test.conf > exported_tpl.txt
You can modify the exported templates manually.
Note that some special letters (\\, @, *) are escaped in the exported templates.
To import the templates, save following config as test2.conf.
[general]
src_path = logfile.txt
src_recur = false
logging = new_auto.log

[database]
database = sqlite3
sqlite3_filename = new_log.db

[log_template]
lt_methods = import
indata_filename = new_ltgen.dump

[log_template_import]
def_path = exported_tpl.txt
Then, try generating database again:
python -m amulog db-make -c test2.conf


Further usage
see help with following command:
python -m amulog -h
