Command anonymize

This command is useful to anonymize log. It can anonymized accces log file and Nginx error log file from default Nginx combined format. The result is a new file whose name contains "-anon".

Optionally a map file can be set as parameter. Then the file is load and used to run. At the end, the file will be erased by a new one.

The anonymization does not change the line length:

• ip address: replaced with a valid random generate ip with the same length
• remote user: replaced with a random [a..z] string with the same length

Examples:

• logar anonymize test.log
• logar anonymize test.log.gz table

Command archive

This command archive previous month log lines from a /var/log/nginx/ directory to single file by domain.

The optionally -dry parameter is useful to test the archive process without produced any target file.

Example:

• logar /var/log/nginx/ target/
• logar -dry /var/log/nginx/ target/

Command check

This command check bad format line in log files (access or error). It is useful to detect malformed log file or test the logar parsing feature.

Example:

• logar check /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/

Command checksort

This command check if log lines are sorted by datetime. It is useful to detect unsorted log file. Reminder: sorted file are mandatory to Webalizer.

Example:

• logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/
• logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/date.chapril.org-access-2021-01.log.gz

Command sort

This command sorts log files. A backup file is produced. A check is made between original file and produced file.

Caution: as the log file is fully load in memory, huge file are potentially difficult.

Example:

• logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/
• logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/date.chapril.org-access-2021-01.log.gz

Command testconcate

This command tests a advanced feature of rebuild log line. Perhaps useful feature in future.

Requirements

• Java 11
• Eclipse 4.16 (202006).
