Log Parser 🪵

Introduction

The aim of this project was to create a Ruby application that can take a .log file (given as a path in argv) and turn it into:

• A list (from largest to smallest) of total accesses on a page by page basis when given IP addresses and the page name.
• A list (again from largest to smallest) of unique accesses on a page by page basis with the same data.

This implementation assumes that all individual data is separated by a line break, and in a format exactly like the following: /home 184.123.665.067

Usage

• Requires Ruby (I used v3.1.2)
• Clone the repository
• $ bundle install
• $ ruby parser.rb path/to/log.log (webserver.log is included in this repository as an example)

🧪 Testing has been done using rspec, and to run the suite use $ rspec - this will also generate a SimpleCov report, which is currently sitting at 99.32% coverage. The missing piece would be to mock the file system to simulate the parsing function in the LogParser class.
