Project Overview

Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Terminal journey — lesson 48 of 82.

Challenge

Easy

Let's start by getting familiar with the log file you'll be analyzing throughout this project.

You'll be working with a file called server.log that contains entries like this:

2024-01-15 08:23:41 INFO User login successful
2024-01-15 08:24:12 ERROR Database connection failed
2024-01-15 08:25:03 WARNING Disk space low
2024-01-15 08:26:55 INFO File uploaded
2024-01-15 08:27:30 ERROR Authentication timeout

Use cat to display the entire contents of server.log.

Note: This file contains 10 log entries with different log levels (INFO, ERROR, WARNING). In the upcoming lessons, you'll filter, count, and analyze these entries using pipes and text processing commands.
