Log formats

Logrep sees log files as logical blocks containing attributes. Mostly, one block corresponds to one line. However, there are some exceptions like postfix and sendmail files with multi-line blocks, and syslogs with last line repeated messages that contain many blocks in a one single line!.

Logrep parsing modules extract attributes from each block and populate multi dimensional data structures for further analysis and reporting.

Composite attributes

As of version 1.4.3, Logrep supports composite attributes. With this feature you can combine several basic attributes into a composite attribute for logrep analysis. For example, combined attribute 'month.day' can give you trend analysis spanning several months. Another example can be "from.to.result", giving a one-step overview of transfer results from one source to a destination.

Currently, only concatenation operator (.) is supported.

Supported systems and attributes

The current version of logrep can analyze log files with 31 different formats.

The table below shows lists of available attributes by system :
