Request-log-analyzer

This is a simple command line tool to analyze request log files in various formats to produce a performance report. Its purpose is to find what actions are best candidates for optimization.

  • Analyzes log files. Currently supports: Amazon S3, Apache, Delayed::Job, Merb, Mysql, PostgreSQL, Rack, Rails and more.

  • Combines multiple files and decompresses compressed files, which comes in handy if you are using logrotate.

  • Uses several metrics, including cumulative request time, mean request time, process blockers, database and rendering time, HTTP methods and statuses, Rails action cache statistics, etc.) (Sample output: github.com/wvanbergen/request-log-analyzer/wiki/sample-output)

  • Low memory footprint and reasonably fast, so it is safe to run on a production server.

  • MIT licensed

See the project wiki at github.com/wvanbergen/request-log-analyzer/wiki for documentation and additional information.

Installation & basic usage

Install request-log-analyzer as a Ruby gem (you might need to run this command as root by prepending sudo to it):

$ gem install request-log-analyzer

To analyze a Rails log file and produce a performance report, run request-log-analyzer like this:

$ request-log-analyzer log/production.log

For more details, other file formats, and available command line options, see the project’s wiki at github.com/wvanbergen/request-log-analyzer/wiki

Changes in this fork

I’ve added support for tracking the requests keyed on PID, which cuts way down on the number of unparsed rows due to requests being loggedout of order. I’ve added a Syslog module that decorates the other file formats with syslog regexps and captures, to pull out PID in many more ccases.

However, I was unable to get the decoration working with unioned RegExps, so this release only supports Rails 2.2 format logs.

Feel free to email me at adam.palmblad@teampages.com for details. Thanks to TeamPages.com (www.teampages.com) for allowing the release of this.
