资 源 简 介
When processing huge logfiles (most of real-world logs are huge) people usually have to resort to unix text utilities like grep, awk etc. They are great but they do not offer any interactivity and require hackery to do non-trivial things, let alone do any visualizations.
This project aims to fill this gap.
The main goals are:
* Capability to process log files of unlimited size that leave no hope of reading them into memory
* Extensibility in terms of log format: the details of particular formats should be responsibilities of plugins
* Extensibility in terms of analyses and visualizations: the program core should be a compact and efficient API for access to log files plus a plugin infrastructure, and everything else should be pluggable
* Extensibility in terms of input sources: it should be possible to process logs from simple files, from concatenations of gzipped files, from sockets and from anything else
