An application to read and grep irssi logs.
- View logs listed by Server > Chatroom > Date
- Grep logs by Server > Chatroom
This program is designed to work with irssi's logging functionality.
These are the settings I use for my logs. I find a need for daily log rotation.
log_theme = default
log_timestamp = "%H:%M:%S";
autolog = ON
autolog_colors = OFF
autolog_level = all -crap -clientcrap -ctcps
autolog_path = ~/irclogs/$tag/$0/$0_%Y%m%d.log
log_create_mode = 640
log_open_string = --- Log opened %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
log_day_changed = --- Day changed %a %b %d %Y
log_close_string = --- Log closed %a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y
~/irclogs/$tag/$0/$0_%Y%m%d.log translates to ~/irclogs/FreeNode/#slicehost/#slicehost_20091025.log
log_create_mode = 640 is required so the webserver can read the logs. The group the application runs as will need to own the irclog folder, or you can change this to 644, so anyone can read it. (Not recommended!)
This format is required because it's been hardcoded into the application.
A nightly cronjob is required to update the file list cache.
