Logtools is a set of software applications designed for log file management, particularly for web servers.
One of the applications in this project is clfmerge. The purpose of clfmerge is to merge multiple web log files in the Common Logfile Format into a single file. This feature is particularly useful for users who have multiple web servers generating log entries with start-time of the request and sorted in order of completion.
Logprn is another tool in the Logtools project that operates like tail -f. It monitors log files and after a specified period of inactivity, spawns a process and writes the new data in the log file to its standard input. This can help users keep track of log files and ensure that they are monitored continuously.
Clfsplit is another application in this suite, which can be used to split a single CLF format web log into multiple files based on the client's IP address. This feature can help users analyze log entries on a per-client basis.
Funnel is a tool that writes its standard input to a number of files or processes. This feature can help manage log files that need to be processed in multiple ways.
Finally, clfdomainsplit can be used to split a CLF format web log containing fully qualified URLs into separate files based on each host. This feature can help users analyze log entries on a per-host basis.
In the latest release of Logtools, the project was updated to compile with GCC 4.3. Overall, Logtools is a powerful suite of log management tools that can help users analyze and manage log files more efficiently.
