logsort

This is a library that sort log files based on timestamp. Logsort provides a customizable function to get the timestamp from each line, and only store offset and timestamp while reading a file, so it doesn't consume to much RAM. Also, it's used to sort nginx access log for me.

For complete documentation, check out the Godoc.

Feature

• Less RAM
• Support gzip format

Usage

First, define the getTime handler or use TimeStartHandler in library.

func getTime([]byte) (int64, logsort.Action, error) {
            // do parse time in this
}

Second, start to merge.

srcFile := "./testdata/base1.log"
dstFile := "./testdata/output.log"
getTime := logsort.TimeStartHandler("2006/01/02 15:04:05")

err := logsort.Sort(srcFile, dstFile, getTime)
