Log File Analyzer

Analyze log files to extract patterns, detect issues, and aggregate statistics using command-line tools.

Usage

Describe the log analysis you need and this skill will provide the commands and patterns.

Examples

• "Find the top 10 most frequent error messages in my application log"
• "Calculate request rate per minute from Nginx access logs"
• "Extract all 500 errors with context from the last hour"

Guidelines

• Use time-based filtering to narrow analysis scope
• Combine grep, awk, and sort for quick log analysis
• Aggregate by common fields to identify patterns
• Save useful log analysis commands as shell aliases
• Consider structured logging for easier automated analysis
