    A dirty linux admin here. Imagine you get ssh’d in nginx log folder and all you want to know are all the ips that have been beating againts certain URL in around last let’s say last seven days and getting 429 most frequent first. In kittie script its like find -mtime -7 -name "*access*" -exec zgrep $some_damed_url {} \; | grep 429 | awk '{print $3}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -r | less depends on how y’r logs look (and I assume you’ve been managing them - that’s where the zgrep comes from) should be run in tmux and could (should?) be written better 'n all - but my point is - do that for me in gui

    (I’m waiting ⏲)

      As a general rule, I will have most of my app and system logs sent to a central log aggregation server. Splunk, log entries, even cloudwatch can do this now.

      But you are right, if there is an archaic server that you need to analyse logs from, nothing beats a find/grep/sed

      In splunk this is a pretty straightforward query and can be piped to stats count and sorted. I don’t know if you’d exactly count that as gui though.
