Designing Log File Parser / Generator

[arsh]

Hello,
I am working on a project to design a log parser and generate charts using Google Visualization Toolkit

Below is the sample log format

Mon Sep 19 2006 13:23:40 [latency][info] xmlfirewall (loopback-fw): tid(2809): Latency: 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 [http://<IP address>:9999/foo/test.xml]

Fri Feb 16 2007 13:04:27 [latency][info] xmlfirewall(TestLogging): tid(2075615): Latency: 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 [http://127.0.0.1:9999/]

The basic functionality which I am looking at is User will enter a IP address and optionally date and time as well and based on the input the parser should read this log file and generate out in CSV or JSON so I can read and plot charts using Google Visualization API.

Thanks
Arsh

Do you have any specific java programming questions? This is pretty high level and not language specific.

I would probably use awk.
