Making Oozie Logs A Little Easier On The Eyes

Today we’re having a quick one.

Earlier during the day, I had to peruse an Oozie log for the first time. And it looked like:

wut?

Okay, Java peeps have a predilection for verbose logs, but surely there is a way to make the whole thing a little more readable for poor, poor human eyes… So I quickly hacked the following:


use 5.10.0;

use strict;

my @lines = map { parse_line($_) } <>;

# the job id is big, and doesn't give us much, remove
for my $useless ( map { $_->{JOB} } @lines ) {
    for ( @lines ) {
        $_->{msg} =~ s/\Q$useless//g;
        $_->{ACTION} =~ s/^\Q$useless//;
    }
}

my %previous;
for my $l ( @lines ) {
    # we'll only print metadata that changed
    my @changes = grep { $l->{$_} ne $previous{$_} } 
                       qw/ USER GROUP TOKEN APP JOB ACTION /;

    say join ' ', map { $_ . "[" . $l->{$_} . "] " } @changes if @changes;

    say "\t", $l->{time}, " ", $l->{msg};
    %previous = %$l;
}

sub parse_line {
    my $line = shift;

    # try to parse the line as a typical log line
    my( $time, $info ) = $line =~ 
                         /^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2}\s*  # the date. Don't care
                           (\d+:\d\d:\d\d)       # the time, More interesting
                           ,\d+\s*.*?-           # log level and stuff. Meh
                           (.*)                  # the message itself
                         /x
        or return ();

    my %data = ( time => $time );

    # capture some repeated metadata
    for my $k ( qw/ USER GROUP TOKEN APP JOB ACTION / ) {
        $data{$k} = $1 if $info =~ s/$k\[(.*?)\]\s*//;
    }

    # useless and long, scrap it
    $info =~ s/\[\*{3}.*?\*{3}\]//;

    $data{msg} = $info;

    return \%data;
}

And there we go,  a log trace that is a mite easier on the eyes…
