HTTPD Monitor

Monitor traffic using an access log, not really useful but a good example of ring buffer, log parsing, time layouts, subroutines and mutexes in go!

Displays stats every 10s about the traffic during those 10s: the sections of the web site with the most hits, as well as interesting summary statistics on the traffic as a whole.

A user can keep the app running and monitor the log file continuously Whenever total traffic for the past 2 minutes exceeds a certain number on average an alert is displayed. Whenever the total traffic drops again below that value on average for the past 2 minutes, another message detailing that the alert has recovered is displayed.

Usage

Configure the app using the .env.

Then use the make commands to pilot the test env.

make

all                            Rebuild and start all containers
build                          Build the environment
down                           Stop the environment
help                           Display this help message
logs                           Show and follow the containers logs
up                             Start the environment

Todo / improvements

• parse commandline args and sanitize inputs
• add feature to be able to change the logs layout
• exclude logs older than our time window during initial parsing.
• write integration/acceptance tests
