Python CEF Parsing for Lizard People

Pourover is the only chemicaly-altered CEF Log Parsing library for Python, ideal for consumption by Lizard People.

Some stuff we can do:

from datetime import datetime
import pourover


# Create log objects from a file
log = pourover.parse_file('test.log')

# useful properties like linecount and start_time
if log.linecount > 10:
    if log.has_syslog_prefix and log.start_time > datetime(year=2018, month=4, day=20):
        # perform some operations
        pass
    else:
        # perform some operations on a logfile that doesn't have syslog prefixes
        pass
else:
    # perform some operations on a really small log
    pass

# Find messages with a certain value in the header
search_results = log.search_headers('Specific Vendor')

for message in log:
    # iterate through each message in the log like you'd expect to be able to
    pass

# Logs can be indexed/sliced in the way you'd expect
first_message = log[0]
last_message = log[-1]

# Create message objects from a string
message = pourover.parse_line('Apr 15 22:11:20 testhost CEF:0|Test Vendor|Test Product|Test Version|100|Test Name|100|src=1.1.1.1 dst=1.1.1.2')

if message.has_syslog_prefix:
    if message.timestamp > datetime(year=2018, month=4, day=20):
        # perform an operation on logs from later than April 20th, 2018
        pass

if 'src' in message.extensions:
    # do something if it's got an extension called 'src'
    pass

if message.device_vendor == 'Some Vendor':
    # do something if the vendor is Some Vendor
    pass

# stick this message right onto that log (it'll even order the messages by timestamp - wow!)
log.append(message)

:sparkles: New Features/PRs:

The project is still in it’s infancy, so PRs might have a rough time getting merged in while the codebase is in a constant state of flux, but I’d me more than happy to have a discussion with you about a new feature you’d like to see!
