Also i want convert kannel_access.log in csv format. Please help me.

Answer 1

Assuming Kannel log is at /var/log/kannel/access.log
This should do
cat /var/log/kannel/access.log |accesslog_parser.pl

Answer 2

May be an old question but I'd like to share this small tool a wrote in java for parsing kannel log files and outputing the results in csv format:
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.StringTokenizer;
/**
*
* #author bashizip
*/
public class KannelLogsParser {
static String fileName;
/**
* #param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
// fileName = args[0];
fileName = "access_kannel.txt";
String allLines = readLines(fileName);
parseAndWriteToCsv(allLines);
}
static String readLines(String fileName) {
BufferedReader br = null;
String sCurrentLine = null;
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
try {
br = new BufferedReader(
new FileReader(fileName));
while ((sCurrentLine = br.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(sCurrentLine).append("\n");
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
if (br != null) {
br.close();
}
} catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
return sb.toString();
}
private static void parseAndWriteToCsv(String allLines) throws IOException {
String[] lines = allLines.split("\n");
System.out.println("lines to parse : " + lines.length);
StringTokenizer st;
StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder();
output.append("DATE;Heure;sent;SMS; SMSC; SVC; ACT; BINF; FID; from; to; flags; msg;;udh"+"\n");
int count = 0;
for (String line : lines) {
count++;
System.out.println("Parsing ..." + 100 * count / lines.length + "%");
st = new StringTokenizer(line, " ");
while (st.hasMoreTokens()) {
String currentToken = st.nextToken();
boolean messageToken = false;
boolean afterMessageToken = false;
if (currentToken.startsWith("[")) {
System.out.println(currentToken);
messageToken = currentToken.startsWith("[msg");
try {
currentToken = currentToken.substring(currentToken.indexOf(":") + 1, currentToken.indexOf("]"));
} catch (Exception e) {
System.err.println(e.getMessage());
messageToken = true;
currentToken = currentToken.substring(currentToken.indexOf(":") + 1);
}
}
currentToken = currentToken.replace("[", "");
currentToken = currentToken.replace("]", "");
output.append(currentToken);
if (!messageToken) {
output.append(";");
} else if (afterMessageToken) {
afterMessageToken = false;
output.append(" ");
} else {
output.append(" ");
afterMessageToken = true;
}
}
output.append("\n");
}
Files.write(Paths.get(fileName + ".csv"), output.toString().getBytes());
System.out.println("Output CVS file: " + fileName + ".csv");
System.out.println("Finished !");
}
}
Hope it can help someone one day :-)
