##Overview Logcat is a log analyzation platform. It's not only for log files, but also for all structed text files.
Logcat makes index for all files, and enables you search logs in a way like using SQL( count(),sum()... from... where ).
This version uses swoole to speed up by costing more momery and CPU. If you mind it, checkout branch sapi.( Branch sapi is stoped because the plugin system is different ).

##Requirement swoole( Needs cygwin or BashOnWindows in windows )

##Installation

git clone https://github.com/questionlin/logcat.git

Logcat contains a demo data. If you only want to see the demo, skip this part.
Change the configuration in config.json
click here to see the explaination.
Put the log files in subfolders in data/
It doesn't matter how many subfolders it has.

##Usage Type the following code to make index for the first time. It may cost some time.

php index.php &

You can use it by open a broswer and typeing 127.0.0.1:8080.

##Performance PHP version：5.5
CPU：2.7GHz I5
log files：22 files, 2.56G totally
making index costs: 283sec
one full search costs：10sec
( excluding compiling time, full search costs 16sec in single process, PHP7 is much faster )

##Debug If the logformat is wrong, it will write wrong lines in data/error.log.
I advise to put one line of logs and test before put whole log file in data/.

##Collect log If you can't put log files in data/, or there are more than one log source, you need log collection.
Change configuration in config.json, copy whole program to the machine making log files, and then type

php collector.php &

Logcat will collect log automatically.

##Plugin The main part of Logcat concentrates on making index and filter logs, leaves other parts to plugins.
