This command is useful to anonymize log. It can anonymized accces log file and Nginx error log file from default Nginx combined format. The result is a new file whose name contains "-anon".
Optionally a map file can be set as parameter. Then the file is load and used to run. At the end, the file will be erased by a new one.
The anonymization does not change the line length:
- ip address: replaced with a valid random generate ip with the same length

Examples:
- logar anonymize test.log
- logar anonymize test.log.gz table
