DESCRIPTION

This program will show the Apache error log associated with the directory you are currently inside of.

Many people set up web servers with each website inside their own directory in $HOME or /var/www. While working on these sites, for example /var/www/coolsite.com/, you can run `elog` with no arguments and it will show the error log for that site inside of less(1).

If you define the $PAGER environment variable, `elog` will use that program instead of less(1).

If you want to view another site's error log, provide `elog` with an expression that partially matches the name of that website's log after the `elog` command. For example, `elog foo`.

To see a list of all the error logs on the server use `elog -l`. More detailed information, such as what rotations exist for each log, use `elog -ll`.

To specify an older rotation of an error log, use the -r option. For example `elog -r2`, might show the /var/log/httpd/foo.error_log.2.gz file.

The way it determines which error log to show is by parsing Apache config files in either /etc/httpd or /etc/apache2. An ErrorLog line tells where the error log is, a DocRoot line tells which directory that error log is for.

The -p option will show the path the selected error log file.

The -f option will open the log in `tail -f`.

The -v option will open the log in `vim`.

The -i option will show statistics about the error log file such as how many errors there were and what time frame.

The -a option will show the message of the error on it's own line, with extra info such as date and ip address on a line beforehand. When multiple lines of the error log relate to the same error, they are grouped.

The -g option will show a graph of the number of errors in an hourly interval.

The -gd option will show a graph of the number of errors in a daily interval.
