Log files

rhit (or sudo rhit depending on your configuration) will open the access logs if they're at their standard location.

So you just launch it as

rhit

and go on adding filters and fields as you explore your data.

You may open a specific file, or a specific directory, by giving the path as argument:

rhit my/archived/logs

Launch parameters

rhit --help will display all available launch arguments.

The arguments you'll most often use enable

• filtering hits to focus on a specific subset: --date, --ip, --method, --path, --referer, --status
• choosing the displayed fields: --fields
• choosing the sorting key, either hits (default) or bytes: --key
• specifying the detail level, the length of tables: --length, from 0 (short) to 6 (long), 1 being the default
• seeing the recent changes: --changes
• exporting the filtered lines, either to screen or to a file
