The build databases are compatible with the Flask web application mentioned below. For more details, see:

Binary releases for Linux/Mac/Windows are available.

log2sql.py - deprecated!!

This replaced log_analyzer.php. Big advantage is that it has a fairly comprehensive test harness and processes all manner of recently observed log file scenarios.

Now replaced by log2sql as above!!!

In addition, there is an associated Python Flask-based web app which runs various pre-canned queries and charts. It is setup to run inside a Docker container for ease of isolation of environment.

log_analyzer.php - deprecated!!

This is a PHP script that turns a P4LOG into a SQLite database and generate canned reports from it.

Now replaced by log2sql as above!!!
