This is a log parser for Cloudfront Web Distribution and RTMP Distribution access logs. It can be called directly or with the Node.js Stream API.
npm install --save cloudfront-log-parser
Given a string or Buffer of a log file, the parse
function can be called directly, returning an array of parsed log entries.
const CloudFrontParser = require('cloudfront-log-parser');
const accesses = CloudFrontParser.parse('<contents of log file>', { format: 'web' });
//accesses = array of objects, see below for format
If parse
is provided with a callback function, it will be called with an array of parsed entries as the result.
const CloudFrontParser = require('cloudfront-log-parser');
CloudFrontParser.parse('<contents of log file>', { format: 'web' }, function (err, accesses) {
//accesses = array of objects, see below for format
});
The parser also implements stream.Transform
for use in Node.js Streams.
const CloudFrontParser = require('cloudfront-log-parser');
const fs = require('fs');
const zlib = require('zlib');
const parser = new CloudFrontParser({ format: 'web' });
parser.on('readable', function () {
let access;
while (access = parser.read()) {
//access = parsed entry object
}
});
fs.createReadStream('./somelogfile.gz')
.pipe(zlib.createGunzip())
.pipe(parser);
Only two configuration options are currently in effect: format and version. The parser defaults to web
to handle the web distribution file format. If logs are streaming from CloudFront to Kinesis the format should be set to kinesis
as the column headers and order changes. If logs are from an RTMP distribution, this value should be set to rtmp
. Currently all CloudFront logs are on version 1.0; should future versions appear, the version
option will serve as an override.
const options = {
format: 'web|rtmp|kinesis',
version: '1.0'
};
