I have log file named request.log this is the content of the log file
[2022-06-30T09:56:40.146Z] ### POST https://test.csdf/auth/send_otp
{
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "testing",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
[2022-06-30T09:56:40.668Z] ### POST https://test.csdf/auth/login
{
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "testing",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
how can I parse the log file and transform it into array json object like this
[
{
"method": "POST",
"url": "https://test.co/otp"
},
{
"method": "POST",
"url": "https://test.co/login"
}
]
You have to run some kind of script to convert them to JSON. In javascript/nodejs you could do something like this:
const logFileContents = `[2022-06-30T09:56:40.146Z] ### POST https://test.csdf/auth/send_otp
{
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "testing",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}
[2022-06-30T09:56:40.668Z] ### POST https://test.csdf/auth/login
{
"method": "POST",
"headers": {
"User-Agent": "testing",
"Content-Type": "application/json"
}
}`;
function convertToJSON(logs) {
return logs
.match(/\[.+\]\s\#+\s\w+\s.*\n/g) // fetch lines to parse
.map((line) => line.split('###')[1].trim().split(' ')) //isolate method/url
.map((log) => ({
method: log[0],
url: log[1],
}));// convert array to object
}
console.log(JSON.stringify(convertToJSON(logFileContents), null, 4));if it doesn't work for your log files, just fix the regex to match your case
