Description

loghist, inspired by spark (https://github.com/holman/spark), tails a specified log and creates a histogram based on frequency of search matches via grep and a specified interval in seconds.

Example Usage

Usage: ./loghist file seconds expression
 file: logfile to generate histogram from
 seconds: number of seconds between samples
 expression: uses grep

This generates a histogram for HTTP 200s from the current apache logfile, sampling every 5 seconds.

root@machine:~$ loghist /var/log/apache2/access.log 5 "HTTP/1.0\" 200"
