Welcome to HTTP-log’s documentation!

Forewords

Dear reader,

This is the cherish documentation of my httplog program. I hope you will like it, I tried to make it as smooth as possible.

Here is a link to my github repository from where you can download the program.

Let’s go to the point!

If you are in a hurry, you just need:

1. to have a python 2.7 installed,
2. to go to the source folder in your favorite terminal and type httplog ../data/sim_config -s
3. enjoy!

What is happening: the command launches a simulation of the program: a log file: log/simulated_log, is actively written by a special part of the program and read at the same time by the monitoring program. You will see every 10s a summary of the traffic observed, with alerts when it’s going up, and down, and up, and down...

CTRL + C will (cleanly) end the program.

Go to the Overview page if want to know how to use the program!
