Introduction
In this project, you will learn how to perform log analysis on an Nginx server's access logs. You will retrieve valuable information from the logs, such as the top IP addresses by access count, the IP addresses that accessed the server a minimum of 10 times, the most accessed requests, and the request addresses with a 404 status.
🎯 Tasks
In this project, you will learn:
- How to retrieve the 5 IP addresses with the highest number of accesses from a specific date
- How to find all IP addresses that accessed the server a minimum of 10 times within a given date range
- How to retrieve the ten most accessed requests from the log file, excluding static files and resources
- How to write all request addresses with a 404 status from the log file
🏆 Achievements
After completing this project, you will be able to:
- Analyze and extract meaningful information from Nginx access logs
- Automate log analysis tasks using shell scripting
- Understand and apply common log analysis techniques, such as filtering, sorting, and counting
- Manage and organize the analysis results in a structured way
