Log parser

A simple log parser

Usage

bundle install

bundle rspec # run the tests

ruby parser.rb webserver.log # output data from websever.log

Approach

The DataAnalyser is the public facing class that is responsible for taking the log file and returning data. The responsibility of parsing the log and formatting it was passed to the LogParser and Formatter respectively.

Testing and coverage

Unit testing is done using RSpec and test coverage is handled by SimpleCov. Test coverage is 100% and can be viewed here.

Style

RuboCop was used for linting.

TODO

  • Add integration test
  • LogParser expects a certain format of input and is therefor not very extendable.
  • LogParser splits the data based on an assumed format. We should validate that the line is in the expected format,/page 123.123.123.123, and stop processing if a line is not as expected.
  • Add additional file formats that the DataAnalyser accepts.
