mrfelpa / LogScan

Simple application written in Python designed to analyze log files for specific errors and generate detailed reports based on the types of errors identified.

• Make sure you have Python 3 installed on your system.

• Clone the repository to your local environment and run the following command to install the dependencies:

  pip install -r requirements.txt
  

Use

• To use the tool, run the log.py script in the terminal.

• You will be asked to provide the following parameters:

  Log File Name: Enter the name of the log file you want to analyze.
  
  Type of error to look for: Specify the type of error you want to identify (critical, warning, debug).
  
  Output File Name: Provide the name of the output file where the report will be saved.
  
  After running, the tool will generate a detailed report and save it to the specified output file.
  

Possible Errors

• If the specified log file is not found, the tool displays an error message.

• If there are no errors of the specified type in the log file, the report indicates that no errors were found.

Future Improvements

• Improve error detection by incorporating more regular expression patterns.
• Add support for different log file formats.
• Implement a graphical interface to facilitate interaction with the tool.
• Improve code modularity for easier maintainability and extensibility.
