### Command anonymize

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
- remote user: replaced with a random [a..z] string with the same length

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

### Command archive

This command archive previous month log lines from a /var/log/nginx/ directory to single file by domain.

The optionally *-dry* parameter is useful to test the archive process without produced any target file.

Example:
- logar /var/log/nginx/ target/
- logar -dry /var/log/nginx/ target/

### Command check

This command check bad format line in log files (access or error). It is useful to detect malformed log file or test the logar parsing feature.

Example: 
- logar check /var/log/nginx/

### Command checksort

This command check if log lines are sorted by datetime. It is useful to detect unsorted log file. Reminder: sorted file are mandatory to Webalizer.

Example: 
- logar checksort /var/log/nginx/www.devinsy.fr/
- logar checksort /var/log/nginx/www.devinsy.fr/www.devinsy.fr-access-2021-01.log.gz


### Command identify

This command identifies the files log format.

Example :
```
> logar identify .
Access/*            www.libre-service.eu-access.log
Access/*            www.libre-service.eu-access.log.1
Error/Apache        www.libre-service.eu-error.log
Error/Apache        www.libre-service.eu-error.log.1
```

### Command sort

This command sorts log files. A backup file is produced. A check is made between original file and produced file.

Caution: as the log file is fully load in memory, huge file are potentially difficult.

Example: 
- logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/
- logar checksort /var/log/nginx/date.chapril.org/date.chapril.org-access-2021-01.log.gz

### Command testconcate

This command tests a advanced feature of rebuild log line. Perhaps useful feature in future.

## Requirements

- Java 17
- Eclipse 4.16 (202006).
