logparse

About/Motivation

Logparse is a command line based tool that will allow users to analyze web server logs (in common log format) with text based output in a variety of formats. The main motivation for creating this tool was the scarcity of non graphic, free, log parsers available. Logparse is meant to be run from the command line by both humans as well as in cron jobs. It is capable of outputting human readable table-esque output as well as grep-able, xml and character delimited formats.

Technical

Log parse is written in C and currently depends on libpcre and libxml2 and is intended to be used on most, if not all, modern unix/linux platforms.

Release

I am currently actively developing this tool and I hope to have a beta out soon!
