Hi all,
I'm looking to parse Netscape Enterprizes error log to check for
broken links that we missed, re-occuring problems, etc...
I can't find any specification on the format or the different
lines that occur (send-cgi says, etc...). I've asked Netscape, but
haven't heard back. I also don't have the manuals that came with it,
but I don't remember it being there anyway.

Does anyone know the specs for the error log? Or has anyone written a
parser for it already?

thanks!

I think the best way to do it is to run it through a Log Analysis
Program. I'm partial to MKSTATS, and it gives you a great page for the
error log. It shows the error, how many times it was reported and if it
was a warning, a security or a informative error.

Try this...

The error logs from netscape's enterprise server have the form:

DATE:subject:client's address and intended action:send file
reports:error message

The part that can interest you is the last one (error message), this
usually starts with the phrase "can't find /path/" if the server couldnt
find a requested file or directory. Another phrase is "cannot find cgi
program"...

The parsing can be made using the grep command or perl's regular
expressions.

Cheers
