Meetup #9 - Hands on - write a parser for server logs to visualise API usage

About the system -
For a node.js application having various API end points, will write an end point to visualise API usage statistics. It will parse the node server logs and output stats like -

• total hits/requests to server on a given day or in a date time range.
• hits against a specific API, with response code wise breakdown (200, 500 response codes).

The log file has one line for every request, with the following information -

• server time, API end point, response time, server response code etc.

A Linux grep command easily gives the desired output. I would like to call some grep commands from node js and then put things in a more presentable format.

Note: - Please join with your mic, else there is no point! - I do not have any power backup and have only a wifi connection which is dependent on power! - People staying near Balewadi, who would like to attend face to face, can come to my home. Message me for details. I can host only 2 guests. Rest can attend online, via hangout.
