GRAP

Utility that GReps for gAPs and out of sequence line in log files

For example, given the logs file in test/sample.log:

Dec 08 03:00:14.035 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:14.036 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:14.037 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:14.025 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 02:00:14.038 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:16.035 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:15.035 DEBUG  Something interesting happened

Anything look out of place to you? Probably not. humans are not very good at performing repetitive tasks.

Let's run grap to see what it finds:

# grap test/sample.log
Dec 08 03:00:14.025 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 02:00:14.038 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
Dec 08 03:00:15.035 DEBUG  Something interesting happened
