Project Overview
Part of the Fundamentals section of Coddy's Terminal journey — lesson 74 of 82.
Challenge
EasyBefore diving into the log analysis project, let's get familiar with the log file you'll be working with throughout this project.
Use the cat command to display the entire contents of server.log.
Take a moment to observe the structure of the log entries. Each line contains:
- A timestamp (date and time)
- A severity level (INFO, WARNING, or ERROR)
- A message describing the event
In the upcoming lessons, you'll filter, count, and analyze these entries using the piping and text processing skills you've learned.
