Default merging log files

Hello i have several dansguardian and squid log files on different hosts.
Now i run on each host the sarg package to graph the usage of the servers.

Can i somehow merge all the log files to one file, so that i can run sarg on one box and get 1 total picture of the usage.

regards.

Johan

don't really understand how your system is... but
you can transfer all files to one PC (if nessacery)
and then use script to merge scritps

for example
Code:
#!/bin/sh 
cat /var/log/some.log >> /root/AllInOne.Log
rm -f /var/log/some.log
cat /var/log/some.other.log >> /root/AllInOne.Log
rm -f /var/log/some.other.log
It's really simple and stupid solution.

Is it really that simple?

My network consist of some remote sites which all have there own proxy/dansguardian server to give them access to the internet.

now i run sarg to create web based stats to see where clients are going.

So it would be nice if i can download all the log files after the log rotate and copy them to one machine, and the create on big file and run sarg on that file.

But like you say it could be just that simple, i will try that on monday.
thanks for the pointer.

regards,
Johan

Well you need to edit it a bit, to make it more usefull.
you need to add some lines that separate logs, and describe where they came from, but it;s easy with echo >

I use awstats for some of my sites to provide some logfile aggregation and I use logresolvemerge to parse my logs.

If the stuff is logged with syslog, then you can just set up a syslog server and log everything to one file ... No need for any merging ...
