Welcome to the logq website!


== News ==

logq is now in Launchpad at https://launchpad.net/logq.  The source code is hosted there in a [[http://bazaar-vcs.org|bzr]] repository.

To fetch the source code:

{{{
bzr branch https://launchpad.net/logq
}}}


== About logq ==

logq is a flexible log analyzer that is currently under development and will be released shortly.  The license of logq is GPL version 2.

You probably want to see some [[Examples]].


== Features ==

 * Log files are parsed into an SQLite database for powerful querying.
 * All aspects of log analysis and reporting can be customized with a flexible plugin system.

   - input formats
   - query types and presets
   - report format

 * Raw data can be aggregated for fast querying without loss of information.  This makes it possible to generate different reports from historical data, without impacting performance to a prohibitive degree.

Plugins exist to support the following log formats:

 * Apache traffic logs with arbitrary formatting.  Common formats like Common and Combined are supported, including those using X-forwarded-for instead of remote host.

Plugins exist to support the following output formats:

 * Raw/CSV
 * ASCII bar graphs
 * matplotlib bar graphs
 * Google Charts bar graphs


== What's The Point? ==

logq hopes to one day compete with webalizer and awstats.  I've used both of those packages, and wouldn't knock them, but I wanted a more flexible log analyzer.  Since those programs are monolithic Perl programs without much hope to attain the feature set I desired, I created my own analyzer.  I use it regularly.


== Authors ==

logq is currently developed and maintained by the primary author, [[http://www.alittletooquiet.net|Forest Bond]].
