log-error-digest skill
Analyze log files to troubleshoot errors, identify peak error periods, and produce error clustering, frequency statistics, and time distribution reports. Supports JSON, syslog, and Nginx formats with automatic detection. Use when a user uploads a .log file and asks to analyze errors, find patterns, debug issues, or get distribution stats.

Log Error Digest
Automated log file analysis that produces error clustering, frequency statistics, and time distribution reports.
Features
- Error Clustering: Groups similar error messages by normalizing dynamic parts (IPs, UUIDs, numbers, etc.) to identify root causes
- Frequency Statistics: Counts occurrences by error type, sorted by severity
- Time Distribution: Shows error distribution by hour and by date, helping pinpoint peak error periods
Supported Log Formats
Usage
python scripts/analyze_logs.py <log_file_path> [options]Parameters
Examples
# Auto-detect format and analyze the entire log file
python scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/app.log
# Specify Nginx format, show only Top 10 errors
python scripts/analyze_logs.py /var/log/nginx/error.log --format nginx --top 10
# Filter ERROR level only, export JSON report
python scripts/analyze_logs.py app.log --level ERROR --output report.json
# Analyze logs within a specific time range
python scripts/analyze_logs.py app.log --since 2024-01-01T00:00:00 --until 2024-01-02T00:00:00Output
