An animal that eats logs

beaver

Beaver (n) - an animal that eats logs

beaver parses log files based on a given date and time range, so you don't have to

Quick Examples

Perhaps you'd like to see the logs for your project since the last time you pushed to production last Wednesday. This can be accomplished easily with beaver:

$ python3 beaver.py Wednesday to today
>> logfile1.log
2019-04-03 15:10:26,618 - simple_example - DEBUG - debug message
2019-04-03 15:12:45,124 - simple_example - DEBUG - debug message
...

All of the following examples will work:

python3 beaver.py 10:35 to 11:35
python3 beaver.py yesterday to today
python3 beaver.py Mar 2nd, 2012 to now
python3 beaver.py 2017-06-18 to May 3rd 2018 at 3:17pm
python3 beaver.py 1:23pm on August 15th 2017 to 10:35 PM on 2 April 2018

...and many more!

Installation

More coming soon...

Usage

usage: beaver.py [-h] [-f FILE] [-o OUTPUT] [-r] range [range ...]

Beaver (n) - an animal that eats logs

positional arguments:
  range                 the range for which to parse logs

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -f FILE, --file FILE  a specific log file to parse (default: )
  -o OUTPUT, --output OUTPUT
                        if included, the file to which output will be writen
                        (default: )
  -r, --recursive       if included, beaver will search for log files
                        recursively starting from the current directory
                        (default: False)

• range is composed in the form of START to END, where START and END can be almost any valid datetime format. If beaver can't understand you, it will ask for clarification.
  • Note that any datetime format that contains days, months, and years must either have days > months > years or years > months > days. The American format (06/18/1996 for June 18th, 1996) is not supported because it creates ambiguity.
• --file - use this if you only want to parse a specific file, not all log files. By default, beaver searches the current directory for any files ending in .log or .logs
• --output - write output to a file, rather than stdout
• --recursive - look for log files recursively, starting in the current directory
