pt-logs-autosearch

A shell script for finding log entries in papetrail based on certain search terms. The papertrail UI doesn't allow searching after a certain point in the past. This can be done by downloading the papertrail archives and searching in them.

Keep in mind that downloading the archives is very slow, because papertrail stores archives hourly as of November 2018. This means that if you need to search in a 1 month time span, the script will download 30x24 archives.

Installation

git clone https://github.com/slavov-v/pt-logs-autosearch.git

Usage

sudo chmod +x search_papertrail.sh
./search_papertrail.sh <papertrail token> <start date> <end date> <search term> <search term 2> <search term N>

Example

./search_papertrail.sh myPapertrailToken 2019-06-01 2019-07-15 "{\"status\": 400" "auth\/login\/"
