Hello again list. I'm now working at Lycos, well Wired News actually, but
it's all one company. Anyways, I'm using my log reporting script that I
built at the last job, but I need to fix a hack that I'm not sure how to
fix.

My script takes a log file, in syslog format, and compacts the messages
so that the same message isn't just repeated over and over.

An example follows: 

May 30 16:04:10, 16:09:16, 16:14:23, 16:19:29, 16:24:35, 16:29:41,
16:34:46, 16:39:52, 16:44:58, 16:50:08, 16:55:14 goose ipop3d: Logout
user=??? host=skitzo.campin.net [63.198.180.27] 

As you can see from this example, the BBNET host 63.198.180.27 (my home
machine) checked the POP3 service on host "goose" 11 times, but it only
showed up in one line of the report.

My method was the result of a suggestion from J Proctor (thanks!). It puts
the message into a hash, with the key being the actual message (goose
ipop3d: Logout user=??? host=skitzo.campin.net [63.198.180.27]) and the
value being the time(s) it was reported. Since each key has to be unique,
it works like a charm.

The problem with it is this: I couldn't think of a good way to capture the
month and day for output into the final report, so I hacked it badly,
and just capture the month and day into variables (and I even get them
inefficiently at that, over and over again) and print them into the final
report.

The whole script is short, so I'll just paste it in here:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $LOGCHECK_DIR = "/usr/local/psionic/logcheck";

# open the output from the logtail program
open(LOG, "$LOGCHECK_DIR/tmp/check");

while (<LOG>) {
        next if /^$/;        # skip blank lines (shouldn't be any)
        @msg = split(/[ ]+/);# split it up for easy parsing
        $month = $msg[0];    # HACK, $month and $day are used at the bottom
        $day = $msg[1];      #  this isn't a problem for an hourly report,
                             #  but if you run it less often than 
			     #  once a day, you'd have
                             #  to change this hack to get the right date
                             #  -if you do it daily, do it at midnight ;)
        $hostname = $msg[3]; # get the hostname
        $message = "";       # null out the log message variable

        for( $i = 3 ; $i <= $#msg ; $i++ ){
                # put everything from the hostname till
                # the end of the log message into the KEY
                $message .= " " . $msg[$i];
        }
        # $message is the actual log message
        $message =~ s/\[\d+\]//; # get rid PID, or no messages will match
        # the value is the time with a leading comma
        ${ $hostname }{$message} .= ", $msg[2]";
        # put the hash for the host into the "hostname" hash, 
        #  for use when printing out all the messages later
        $hostname{$hostname} = 1; # we never use the value, just the key
}

foreach ( keys %hostname) {
        $host = $_;     # each key in this hash is a reference to a hash
        open (HOSTFILE, ">> $LOGCHECK_DIR/tmp/hosts/$host");

        # do the actual printing to the individual host files 
	# for newlogcheck.sh to analyze
        while(($key, $val)=(each %{ $host } )){
                $val =~ s/^, //;  # lose the leading comma and space 
	# hacked $month and $day variables 
        #  all your logs have to be from the same day
                print HOSTFILE "$month $day $val $key";
        }
}
exit 0;

So you see that the way I get the month and day is inefficient and
imprecise. I'd like to incorporate them into the hash as I go, but I don't
really know the best way to do it.

I want something like:
 
${ $hostname }{$message} = "$month $day " . ${ $hostname }{$message};

...but if I put it in the while loop, I'll stick it in there each time
through. Plus then when I print it to the final report, I'd have to split
the key into another array and print the times in there where they need to
be (to look like a normal syslog message).

I'm really at a loss here, I just think I need to get pointed in the right
direction by some of you guru-types.

Thanks in advance,

I'm trying to assign an anonymous array as the value in a hash.

%hash = ( 'key1' => ('v1a', 'v1b'),
          'key2' => ('v2a', 'v2b')  );

# therefore $hash{'key1'}[0] will equal 'v1a', etc.

So what I'm missing is the way to tell Perl that the inner ()s should be
treated as an anonymous hash.  I just can't think of the syntax to do
that.  Arrrrgh.

Bill,

I don't see that your log scanning script is chopping up the actual
message the way mine does (maybe you could incorporate my technique into
your script to compact the output).

Yours prints the message unmodified into an email.

Mine can't print the message to a file as it finds it, since it's whole
purpose is to find matches later in the logs, and append it's time into
it's time entry. Only when it's done with all the logs does it print out
the hashes to individual files.

You see what I mean? 

My technique does this:

Jun 14 21:26:43 scampi postfix/smtpd[2552]: connect from skitzo[63.198.180.27]

My script takes the above entry, and puts everything from "scampi" to the
end of the string into the key of a hash. The time is put into the value
(well, actually it puts a comma, a space and then the time, but that's not
important).

I need a good way to put the month and day into this hash.

You're very close - but you have the incorrect syntax.  It should be:

$hash = ( 'key1' => ['v1a', 'v2a'],
          'key2' => ['v2a', 'v2b']);

You should use square brackets on the array.

Nope, I was right the first time:  I am missing something...

I don't see a reason to split to an array; you could easily keep the
month/day and sort by it.

I guess I don't understand why you want to eliminate the duplicates, unless
they are in a row; IE -

pop request
pop request
pop request
pop request
.
 .
  .
et al...

Give me this weekend and I'll see if I can fix it to match your intent.

I fixed it.

I just needed a check like this:

         # if we already have this message in the hash, just append the
time it's reported
        if ( ${ $hostname }{$message} ) {
                # the value is the time with a leading comma
                ${ $hostname }{$message} .= ", $msg[2]";
        } else {
                 # if this is the first time this message is reported, 
                 #  put the month and day at the beginning 
                ${ $hostname }{$message} = "$month $day ";
                ${ $hostname }{$message} .= "$msg[2]";
        }

This added the month and day into the message. I just never quite thought
of it in the right way until I looked at it again today.

Thanks, guys.

OBTW, Bill,
I eliminate the duplicates to shorten the output. Since I have the report
running on a central syslog host, we could potentilly have quite a few
host logging to it. Right now we have about 2 dozen logging to it, so
compacting the output is crucial.

Thanks again,

...except that seems to have been replaced by something completely
different.

Today, I'm in black shorts and a moss-green shirt.  I'm in the email roon
now, and will likely be hanging around the main lobby area until lunchtime
or so.  After lunch, I'll be at the lightning talks; I can read the
quantum superposition code later if I'm curious about how it works. :)

I mention "quantum superposition" (and spell it correctly) in the context
of Perl code, and Bill can't think of anything better to ask than making a
smart remark about a typo.  *I* think he's jealous that we got to go to
yapc and he didn't.  :)

Just for that, I won't tell you whether we actually had the first Jax.PM
meeting without you.  Yeah.  Just chew on that for awhile.  The first
Jax.PM meeting happening hundreds of miles away in Pgh, without anyone
from Jax actually present.
