couchdb-log-parse

A program for parsing CouchDB logs

Usage

``
var LogParse = require('couchdb-log-parse')
var parser = new LogParse()

fs.createReadStream('couchdb.log').pipe(parser)

parser.on('data', function (c) {
// this is the raw data, don't know why you need this, but whatever
})

parser.on('message', function (message) {
// this is probably what you want.
// it's the parsed object with informative fields
})
`

Fields

The parsed messages all have these fields:

* date The date that the log was posted
* level Usually one of info, warn, or error
* pid Not a real pid. Some kind of silly erlang goober.
* type Either 'http', 'erl', or 'misc'

Depending on the type they may have the following fields as well:

$3

* ip The requesting IP. (If you're behind a proxy or load balancer,
then it's not super interesting.)
* method Something like GET, POST, PUT, etc.
* url The url requested
* statusCode The response status code.

$3

* message Whatever comes before the dump. Sometimes blank.
* dump The dumped erlang object. (If someone wants to write a
parser for the erlang objdump notation, that'd be rad.)

$3

* message` Whatever it was that couldn't be parsed.
