README

This library allows you to easily iterate over your Apache, nginx or any other web server log files.

Main features:

• Log file iterator
• Parser abstraction to help you implement your custom parser
• Low memory footprint even with huge files

Installation

This library can be found on Packagist. The recommended way to install this is through Composer:

composer require mvar/log-parser:^1.0

Basic Usage

Lets say you have log file my.log with following content:

GET /favicon.ico 200
GET /about 404

All you need to do to iterate over the file is to initialize SimpleParser with your regular expression and pass it to LogIterator:

<?php

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

use MVar\LogParser\LogIterator;
use MVar\LogParser\SimpleParser;  

// Pass your regular expression
$parser = new SimpleParser('/(?<method>\S+)\s+(?<path>\S+)\s+(?<response_code>\d+)/');

foreach (new LogIterator('my.log', $parser) as $data) {
    var_export($data);
    echo "\n";
}

The above example will output:

array (
  'method' => 'GET',
  'path' => '/favicon.ico',
  'response_code' => '200',
)
array (
  'method' => 'GET',
  'path' => '/about',
  'response_code' => '404',
)

It is also possible to parse compressed files by adding stream wrapper before file name:

$logFile = 'compress.zlib://file:///path/to/log.gz';
