Analyze the Drupal Watchdog logs from Acquia.
When reviewing a site on Acquia, we often don't want to enable dblog (database logging) on production, but we still need a good way of analyzing the Drupal watchdog logs. We can download the log files, but it's hard to parse through and read each item one by one.
This repo provides a simple way to parse and convert the logs into a JSON file, then optionally open a small dashboard to filter issues for review using DataTables.
- Start by processing the log file, passing it as an argument to
watchdog.php.
$ ./watchdog.php 0-drupal-watchdog.log- Now that we have a JSON file, we can run a local PHP server to analyze it. Here we can use PHP's built-in server pretty easily.
$ php -S localhost:3000- Now open http://localhost:3000 for the DataTable to load. Important: the JSON output must be in the same directory as the root server directory.
