Lugg -- Query Rails log files from the command line

A tiny command line utility to search through Rails server log files and display requests that meet certain criteria.

Installation

Lugg is distributed as a Ruby gem, which should be installed on most Macs and Linux systems. Once you have ensured you have a working installation of Ruby and Ruby gems, install the gem as follows from the command line:

$ gem install lugg

You can verify the gem has installed correctly by checking its version number:

$ lugg -v

If this generates an error, something has gone wrong. You should see something along the lines of lugg 1.0.0.

Usage

Lugg takes one or more files as arguments or input on STDIN and redirects that content to STDOUT -- but not before applying some filters. Content will be parsed as Rails server log files and only the entire log entries matching your criteria are displayed.

You supply criteria by passing in command line options. You can see a full list of accepted options by running lugg -h:

    --and                        Combine previous and next clause with AND instead of OR
