Ruby Log Parser
About
Takes a .log file of the following format url ip_address e.g; /about/meet-the-team 123.123.123.123 and returns a count of all unique visits of each page.
How?
The main workhorse is the /lib/parser.rb class. This is a simple parser responsible for crunching the numbers of the log file in various ways. You can initialise a new parser with parser = Parser.new("path/to/your/logfile.log"). Once this is done you can call a variety of methods to pull out information about the log...
.file- returns the raw logfile.log- Returns the log as a two dimensional array[[page, ip_address]].pages- Returns a list of unique page urls in the logfile.page_views- Returns a hash of page urls (as keys) with their assosciated view count (as values).unique_page_views- Returns a hash of page urls (as keys) with their assosciated unique (by IP address) view count (as values)
