Rageshake server should concatenate log files of the same name pattern into a single stream #46
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When i download seven logs i have to juggle opening multiple files to read all logs in an order. It would be good to render all related logs in a single stream rather than have to juggle multiple files.
Describe the solution you'd like
Enable configuration of some regex matches that are aggregated together, for example:
log-1.log.gz
log-2.log.gz
...
log-49.log.gz
if a configuration file was given a regex of "log-([0-9]*).log.gz" and turn into a single file or virtual file containing logs ordered by time.
Describe alternatives you've considered
User-side scripts exist but are occasionally confused if log files come out of order.
Additional context
This might be harder than it looks ; some clients provide log files in a round-robin fashion, so finding the first log is hard if it's at the beginning.
Some other clients provide multiple streams which need to be sorted individually - and some different clients could create log streams that need to be treated differently.
This might be an aspiration rather than a practical change; possibly requiring clients to be updated to support some concept of sorting or grouping.
