This is a simple command line tool to analyze request log files in various formats to produce a performance report. Its purpose is to find what actions are best candidates for optimization.
Analyzes log files. Currently supports: Amazon S3, Apache, Delayed::Job, Merb, Mysql, PostgreSQL, Rack, Rails and more.
Combines multiple files and decompresses compressed files, which comes in handy if you are using logrotate.
Uses several metrics, including cumulative request time, mean request time, process blockers, database and rendering time, HTTP methods and statuses, Rails action cache statistics, etc.) (Sample output: github.com/wvanbergen/request-log-analyzer/wiki/sample-output)
Low memory footprint and reasonably fast, so it is safe to run on a production server.
