构建日志解析器分析器

Question

我是最后一年的学生，我的项目是构建一个日志解析器分析器。 我打算利用python编写一个脚本来解析跨平台的任何日志文件（windows，Linux..etc）。 如果有人能解释我的工作流程，比如从哪里开始以及如何编写日志解析器，我将非常感激。

Answer 1

这只是为了开始：

my assumption is: the logfiles will be flat files

questions that you probably need to answer before getting into the code:
  will all the logfiles have the same layout or may each have a separate configuration?                    
  what constitutes a record?
  what constitutes a field?
  what are their delimiters?
  how will the parse results be presented?  and how often?
