Ask HN: Fastest server log analyzer tool you use?
Hi!
We are working on a blazing fast log analyzer tool for servers written in plain C.
I am wondering:
1. what are the known solutions you are using or are aware of in the industry?
2. what features/capabilities are a must have?
3. what features/capabilities are you missing and would like to see?
- crazypython 6y agoSorry to hijack the thread, but why did you choose C instead of D? You can adapt your C program into D using a few find-and-replace searches, and you can #include arbitrary C headers (even Linux kernel headers) using DPP.
- pezo1919 6y agoTechnology familiarity. We know C and we are totally satisfied, we don't know D at all. :)
- divby0 6y agowhat do you mean specifically by log analyzer as this is a broad term. Parse the logs? Index the logs & do some aggregations/calculations? Do a search query to find matching logs?
- pezo1919 6y agoGood question: we are focusing on these: aggregations/calculations, search query to find matching logs.
- divby0 6y agoJust curious why do you want it to implement it from scratch? Have you looked into this https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic https://github.com/valeriansaliou/sonic if it helps?
