To merge Apache / Lighttpd / Nginx server log files, you can use the cat
command in Linux/Unix. The cat
command allows you to concatenate and display the contents of multiple files.
Here’s how you can use the cat
command to merge log files:
cat file1.log file2.log > merged_logs.log
In the above command, file1.log
and file2.log
are the names of the log files you want to merge, and merged_logs.log
is the name of the file that will contain the merged logs. The >
symbol is used to redirect the output of the cat
command to the merged_logs.log
file.
If you have multiple log files, you can specify all of them in the cat
command:
cat file1.log file2.log file3.log > merged_logs.log
After running the command, you will have a new file called merged_logs.log
that contains the contents of all the log files you specified.
