# Parsing GitLab logs with `jq` **(FREE SELF)**
|
|
|
|
We recommend using log aggregation and search tools like Kibana and Splunk whenever possible,
|
|
but if they are not available you can still quickly parse
|
|
[GitLab logs](../logs.md) in JSON format
|
|
(the default in GitLab 12.0 and later) using [`jq`](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/).
|
|
|
|
## What is JQ?
|
|
|
|
As noted in its [manual](https://stedolan.github.io/jq/manual/), `jq` is a command-line JSON processor. The following examples
|
|
include use cases targeted for parsing GitLab log files.
|
|
|
|
## Parsing Logs
|
|
|
|
### General Commands
|
|
|
|
#### Pipe colorized `jq` output into `less`
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq . <FILE> -C | less -R
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Search for a term and pretty-print all matching lines
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
grep <TERM> <FILE> | jq .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Skip invalid lines of JSON
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq -cR 'fromjson?' file.json | jq <COMMAND>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
By default `jq` will error out when it encounters a line that is not valid JSON.
|
|
This skips over all invalid lines and parses the rest.
|
|
|
|
#### Print a JSON log's time range
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
cat log.json | (head -1; tail -1) | jq '.time'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Use `zcat` if the file has been rotated and compressed:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
zcat @400000006026b71d1a7af804.s | (head -1; tail -1) | jq '.time'
|
|
|
|
zcat some_json.log.25.gz | (head -1; tail -1) | jq '.time'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing `production_json.log` and `api_json.log`
|
|
|
|
#### Find all requests with a 5XX status code
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq 'select(status >= 500)' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Top 10 slowest requests
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq -s 'sort_by(-.duration) | limit(10; .[])' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Find and pretty print all requests related to a project
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
grep <PROJECT_NAME> <FILE> | jq .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Find all requests with a total duration > 5 seconds
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq 'select(.duration > 5000)' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Find all project requests with more than 5 rugged calls
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
grep <PROJECT_NAME> <FILE> | jq 'select(.rugged_calls > 5)'
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Find all requests with a Gitaly duration > 10 seconds
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq 'select(.gitaly_duration > 10000)' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Find all requests with a queue duration > 10 seconds
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq 'select(.queue_duration > 10000)' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### Top 10 requests by # of Gitaly calls
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq -s 'map(select(.gitaly_calls != null)) | sort_by(-.gitaly_calls) | limit(10; .[])' <FILE>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing `production_json.log`
|
|
|
|
#### Print the top three controller methods by request volume and their three longest durations
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq -s -r 'group_by(.controller+.action) | sort_by(-length) | limit(3; .[]) | sort_by(-.duration) | "CT: \(length)\tMETHOD: \(.[0].controller)#\(.[0].action)\tDURS: \(.[0].duration), \(.[1].duration), \(.[2].duration)"' production_json.log
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Example output**
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
CT: 2721 METHOD: SessionsController#new DURS: 844.06, 713.81, 704.66

CT: 1328 METHOD: Projects::NotesController#index DURS: 403.99, 386.29, 384.39
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Parsing `api_json.log`
|
|
|
|
#### Print top three routes with request count and their three longest durations
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
jq -s -r 'group_by(.route) | sort_by(-length) | limit(3; .[]) | sort_by(-.duration) | "CT: \(length)\tROUTE: \(.[0].route)\tDURS: \(.[0].duration), \(.[1].duration), \(.[2].duration)"' api_json.log
|
|
```
|

|
|
|
|
Find the top 20 calls by project and user:
|
|
|
|
```shell
