apg / lack

yet another yak shave

lack: A tool for querying logfmt style messages.

Note:

This is super hacky right now, but "works."

Build

$ go generate ./... && go build ./... && go build

Run

$ lack -format "<fmt string>" <query> < INPUT

Format strings

Positional (always ' ' delimited for now)

$ echo "foo bar" | ./lack -format '%1 %2 %0' 'foo'
bar foo foo bar

Keys

$ echo "foo=bar" | ./lack -format '%{foo}' 'foo'
bar

Mixed

$ echo "foo=bar baz" | ./lack -format '%{foo} %2' 'foo'
bar baz

Inserted tabs (Note: inserted are ASCII 9, e.g. '\t', not spaces)

$ echo "foo=bar baz" | ./lack -format '%{foo}\t%2' 'foo'
bar     baz

Current supported query types:

Single word "grep"

$ echo "foo" | ./lack foo
foo

Phrase "grep"

$ echo "foo bar" | ./lack '"foo bar"'
foo bar

Regexp "grep"

$ echo "foo bar" | ./lack /fo+/
foo bar

Field extraction

$ echo "foo=hello" | ./lack foo=hello
foo=hello

$ echo "foo=hello" | ./lack foo!=bar
foo=hello

$ echo "foo=6" | ./lack foo!=6

$ echo "foo=6" | ./lack 'foo>=6'
foo=6

$ echo "foo=6" | ./lack 'foo<6'

$ echo "foo=6" | ./lack 'foo<=6'
foo=6

$ echo "foo=bar" | ./lack 'foo=/bar/'
foo=bar

$ echo "foo=baz" | ./lack 'foo!=/bar/'
foo=baz

$ echo "foo=1" | ./lack 'foo!=0'
foo=1

Conjunctions

And

$ echo "foo=6 bar=10" | ./lack 'foo>5 & bar<15'
foo=6 bar=10

Or

$ echo "foo=5 bar=15" | ./lack 'foo=5 | bar=20'
foo=5 bar=15
