production_log_analyzer lets you find out which actions on a Rails
site are slowing you down.

== About

production_log_analyzer provides three tools to analyze log files
created by SyslogLogger.  pl_analyze for getting daily reports,
action_grep for pulling log lines for a single action and
action_errors to summarize errors with counts.

The analyzer currently requires the use of SyslogLogger because the
default Logger doesn't give any way to associate lines logged to a
request.

The PL Analyzer also includes action_grep which lets you grab lines from a log
that only match a single action.

  action_grep RssController#uber /var/log/production.log

== Installing

  sudo gem install production_log_analyzer

=== Setup

First:

Set up SyslogLogger according to the instructions here:

http://seattlerb.rubyforge.org/SyslogLogger/

Then:

Set up a cronjob (or something like that) to run log files through pl_analyze.

== Using pl_analyze

To run pl_analyze simply give it the name of a log file to analyze.

  pl_analyze /var/log/production.log

If you want, you can run it from a cron something like this:

  /usr/bin/gzip -dc /var/log/production.log.0.gz | /usr/local/bin/pl_analyze /dev/stdin

Or, have pl_analyze email you (which is preferred, because tabs get preserved):

  /usr/bin/gzip -dc /var/log/production.log.0.gz | /usr/local/bin/pl_analyze /dev/stdin -e devnull@robotcoop.com -s 
  "pl_analyze for `date -v-1d "+%D"`"

In the future, pl_analyze will be able to read from STDIN.

== What's missing

* More reports
* Command line arguments including:
  * Help
  * What type of log file you've got (if somebody sends patches with tests)
* Read from STDIN
