royendgel / nginxlog Goto Github PK

This projects aims to read nginx logs and mirror it to a database using async and multi threads processors. I will use this for cambackup.com to check if a hls stream is active. (I use nginx-rtmp module)

####Usage

build it using cargo build --release

• create an environment variable nginx_path like this export nginx_path='path/to/your/access.log'
• run the executable like this ./path-to-executable/nglog

In nginx I have something like this :

location /hls {
			access_log access.log;
		            # Serve HLS fragments
		            types {
		                application/vnd.apple.mpegurl m3u8;
		            }
		            add_header Cache-Control no-cache;
		        }

The log is in standard format.

#####Why Rust language ? I fell in love with Rust language the same way I felt in love with Python some years ago, and this is my effort to learn it and do some advanced things like memory management, borrowing. Rust is a low level programming language that means it is fast (some claims faster then C++). I have plan to migrate some heavy code that is written in Python on cambackup.com to Rust.

Rust = Faster + less resource usage
