[RFE] Recognize compressed log files
Last modified: 2015-08-26 11:34:45 EDT
This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket: https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/381 Non-active log files (access, error, audit) which are timestamped should be gzipped. Files should end in .gz extension. logconv.pl needs to recognize these files and decompress on the fly.
This should be added to the logconv.pl tests logconv.pl can read from a compressed file or a compressed tar archive. For example: $ ls /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-host access audit errors.20140917-124602 access.20140917-124603 audit.rotationinfo errors.rotationinfo access.rotationinfo errors $ cd /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-host $ tar cfj access.tar.bz2 access access.20* $ ls access.tar.bz2 access.tar.bz2 $ logconv.pl access.tar.bz2 reading ..... .... logconv report ... The detection is based on the filename. If the filename ends in .tar, logconv.pl will assume it is an uncompressed tar archive file. If the filename ends with.tar.bz2 or .tar.gz or .tar.xz or .tgz or .tbz or .txz, logconv.pl will assume it is a compressed tar archive (gz for gzip, bz or bz2 for bzip2, xz for xz). If the filename ends with .gz or .bz2 or .xz (not preceeded by .tar), logconv.pl will assume is a compressed plain file.
[root@dhcp201-126 ~]# logconv.pl access.tar.bz2 Access Log Analyzer 8.1 Command: logconv.pl access.tar.bz2 Processing 1 Access Log(s)... [001] access.tar.bz2 size (bytes): 46 There was no logging to process, exiting... Cleaning up temp files... Done. Hence marking as VERIFIED.
