Logswan

Logswan is a fast Web log analyzer using probabilistic data structures. It is targeted at very large log files, typically APIs logs. It has constant memory usage regardless of the log file size, and takes approximatively 4MB of RAM.

Unique visitors counting is performed using two HyperLogLog counters (one for IPv4, and another one for IPv6), providing a relative accuracy of 0.10%. String representations of IP addresses are used and preferred as they offer better precision.

Project design goals include : speed, memory-usage efficiency, and keeping the code as simple as possible.

Logswan is opinionated software :

  • It only supports the Common Log Format, in order to keep the parsing code simple. It can of course process the Combined Log Format as well (referer and user agent fields will be discarded)
  • It does not split results per day, but log files can be split prior to being processed

Features

Currently implemented features :

  • Counting bandwidth used
  • Counting number of processed lines / invalid lines
  • Counting number of hits (IPv4 and IPv6 hits)
  • Counting visits (unique IP addresses for both IPv4 and IPv6)
  • GeoIP lookups (for both IPv4 and IPv6)
  • Hourly hits distribution
  • HTTP method distribution
  • HTTP protocol (HTTP/1.0 or HTTP/1.1) distribution
  • HTTP status codes distribution

Dependencies

Logswan uses the CMake build system and requires GeoIP and Jansson libraries and header files.

Installing dependencies

  • OpenBSD : pkg_add -r cmake GeoIP jansson
  • NetBSD : pkgin install cmake GeoIP jansson
  • Mac OS X : brew install cmake geoip jansson
  • Alpine Linux : apk add cmake gcc make musl-dev geoip-dev jansson-dev
  • Debian / Ubuntu : apt-get install build-essential cmake libgeoip-dev libjansson-dev

Compiling

cmake .
make

Logswan has been sucessfully compiled and tested on Mac OS X, OpenBSD, NetBSD, and Linux with both Clang and GCC.

Installation

Logswan packages are available for :

OpenBSD

pkg_add logswan

Pkgsrc (NetBSD, SmartOS, Mac OS X, etc.)

pkgin install logswan

GeoIP databases

Logswan requires the free GeoLite databases to be installed in /usr/local/share/GeoIP. Files can be downloaded here : http:https://dev.maxmind.com/geoip/legacy/geolite/

For IPv4 support only :

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/GeoIP
cd /usr/local/share/GeoIP
wget https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
gunzip *gz

For IPv4 and IPv6 support :

mkdir -p /usr/local/share/GeoIP
cd /usr/local/share/GeoIP
wget https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoLiteCountry/GeoIP.dat.gz
wget https://geolite.maxmind.com/download/geoip/database/GeoIPv6.dat.gz
gunzip *gz
