Random Log Generator
Generator of random logs for multiple types of technologies.
This tool can generate all kinds of logs starting from templates. You should create a pattern file in YAML format foreach log that you want to generate, like in conf/patterns examples.
If more than one patterns are specified in patterns folder, all logs are generated in parallel. It's possible to generate 100 logs in parallel.
Install
Clone repository
git clone https://github.com/WuerthPhoenix/log-generator.git
and install with setup.py:
$ cd log-generator
$ python setup.py install
or use pip:
$ pip install rlog-generator
Pattern file
A pattern file has many parameters.
| Parameters | Descriptions |
|---|---|
| name | name of log |
| enabled | enable/disable this pattern |
| path | path where store the log |
| eps | number of logs per seconds that will be generate |
| correction | eps correction percentage |
| time_period | how many seconds the generating is active |
| generator_type | you can choose which generator use. The common value is template, that generate the logs from a template |
| examples | logs of examples |
| template | template to use to generate logs |
| fields | fields used in template |
We can have two kinds of fields:
- list: the list fields are used to generate random values from a given list
- func: the func fields enable functions to generate the random values.
The func fields start with func_ and then have the name of function. It can also have parameters.
The func developed are:
-
func_randip: generate a random ip address -
func_randint: generate a random integer from min to max
For more details see the examples in folder conf/patterns.
If you want to contribute with real templates, add them in patterns folder.
Command line
The installation stores on system the rlog-generator command line.
