p4 logparse

Parse a structured log file and return log data.

Syntax

p4 [g-opts] logparse [-e] [-T fields...] [-F filter] [-s offset] [-m max] logfile

Description

The p4 logparse command parses the indicated structured logfile and returns the log data in tagged format.

Structured logs differ from the basic error log (P4LOG) and audit log (P4AUDIT). To read the basic error log, use the p4 logtail command.

Valid names for structured log files:

`all.csv`	All loggable events (commands, errors, audit, etc.)
`audit.csv`	Audit events (audit, purge)
`auth.csv`	Information about user login attempts.
`commands.csv`	Command events (command start, command compute, command end)
`errors.csv`	Error events (errors-failed, errors-fatal)
`events.csv`	Server events (startup, shutdown, checkpoint, journal rotation, etc.)
`ldapsync.csv`	Activity of p4 ldapsync
`integrity.csv`	Major events that occur during replica integrity checking.
`track.csv`	Command tracking (track-usage, track-rpc, track-db)
`user.csv`	User events, with one record every time a user runs `p4 logappend`

To enable structured logging, set the serverlog.file.n configurable(s) to the name of the file. For example:

$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.2=commands.csv
$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.3=errors.csv
$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.5=audit.csv

Numbers provided for the configurables do not have to be consecutive. A given number cannot exceed 500, so the following assignment returns an error:

$ p4 configure set serverlog.file.666=commands.csv

Structured log files are automatically rotated on checkpoint, journal creation, overflow of associated serverlog.maxmb.n limit (if configured), and the p4 logrotate command.

Options

`-e`	Display special characters as hex-encodings.
`-F filter`	Limit output to records that match the filter pattern.
`-m max`	Limit the number of lines returned.
`-s f_offset`	Start parsing at the given file offset as returned in the `f_offset` field.
`-T fields...`	Limit displayed fields to those listed.
`g-opts`	See Global Options.
