Quickstart

Support

Python 2: 2.7 Python 3: 3.6, 3.7

Install

using pip : pip install logs-analyzer

Code sample

from logs_analyzer.lib import LogsAnalyzer

nginx_logsanalyzer = LogsAnalyzer('nginx')
nginx_logsanalyzer.add_date_filter(minute='*', hour=22, day=4, month=5)
nginx_logsanalyzer.add_filter('192.10.1.1')
requests = nginx_logsanalyzer.get_requests()

Non-object functions

Function get_service_settings

Get default settings for the said service from the settings file, three type of logs are supported right now: nginx, apache2 and auth.

Parameters

service_name: service name (e.g. nginx, apache2...).

Return

Returns a dictionary containing the chosen service settings or None if the service doesn't exists.

Sample

nginx_settings = get_service_settings('nginx')

Function get_date_filter

Get the date's pattern that can be used to filter data from logs based on the parameters.

Parameters

settings: the target logs settings.

minute: default now, minutes or * to ignore.

hour: default now, hours or * to ignore.

day: default now, day of month.

month: default now, month number.

year: default now, year.

Sample

nginx_settings = get_service_settings('nginx')
date_pattern = get_date_filter(nginx_settings, 13, 13, 16, 1, 1989)
print(date_pattern)

Prints [16/Jan/1989:13:13

Function filter_data

Filter received data/file content and return the results.

Parameters

log_filter: string that will be used to filter data

data: data to be filtered (String) or None if the data will be loaded from a file.

filepath: filepath from where data will be loaded or None if the data has been passed as a parameter.

is_casesensitive: if the filter has to be case sensitive (default True).

is_regex: if the filter string is a regular expression (default False).

is_reverse: (boolean) invert selection.

Return

Returns filtered data (String).

Sample

nginx_settings = get_service_settings('nginx')
date_filter = get_date_filter(nginx_settings, '*', '*', 27, 4, 2016)
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
file_name = os.path.join(base_dir, 'logs-samples/nginx1.sample')
data = filter_data('192.168.5', filepath=file_name)
data = filter_data(date_filter, data=data)

Function get_web_requests

Analyze the web logs (Nginx & Apache2 for now) data and return list of requests formatted as the model (pattern) defined.

Parameters

data: (String) data to analyzed.

pattern: (Regular expression) used to extract requests.

date_pattern: (Regular expression or None) used to extract date elements to have ISO formatted dates.

date_keys: (List or None) list of extracted date elements placements.

Sample

apache2_settings = get_service_settings('apache2')
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
file_name = os.path.join(base_dir, 'logs-samples/apache1.sample')
data = filter_data('127.0.1.1', filepath=file_name)
requests = get_web_requests(data, apache2_settings['request_model'],
                            nginx_settings['date_pattern'], nginx_settings['date_keys'])

Function get_auth_requests

Analyze the Auth logs data and return list of requests formatted as the model (pattern) defined.

Parameters

data: (String) data to analyzed.

pattern: (Regular expression) used to extract requests.

date_pattern: (Regular expression or None) used to extract date elements to have ISO formatted dates.

date_keys: (List or None) list of extracted date elements placements.

Sample

auth_settings = get_service_settings('auth')
base_dir = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
date_filter = get_date_filter(auth_settings, '*', 22, 4, 5)
file_name = os.path.join(base_dir, 'logs-samples/auth.sample')
data = filter_data('120.25.229.167', filepath=file_name)
data = filter_data(date_filter, data=data)
requests = get_auth_requests(data, auth_settings['request_model'],
                                     auth_settings['date_pattern'], auth_settings['date_keys'])
