How to parse multiple nginx log files using goaccess

Question

I want to analyze all my nginx logs (you can see here):

ls /var/log/nginx/ access.log access.log.21.gz error.log.1 error.log.22.gz access.log.1 access.log.22.gz error.log.10.gz error.log.23.gz access.log.10.gz access.log.23.gz error.log.11.gz error.log.24.gz access.log.11.gz access.log.24.gz error.log.12.gz error.log.2.gz access.log.12.gz access.log.2.gz error.log.13.gz error.log.3.gz access.log.13.gz access.log.3.gz error.log.14.gz error.log.4.gz access.log.14.gz access.log.4.gz error.log.15.gz error.log.5.gz access.log.15.gz access.log.5.gz error.log.16.gz error.log.6.gz access.log.16.gz access.log.6.gz error.log.17.gz error.log.7.gz access.log.17.gz access.log.7.gz error.log.18.gz error.log.8.gz access.log.18.gz access.log.8.gz error.log.19.gz error.log.9.gz access.log.19.gz access.log.9.gz error.log.20.gz access.log.20.gz error.log error.log.21.gz 

but I don’t know how to do it. First of all, it seems that goaccess cannot parse .gz files.

What is the best way to analyze all the information contained in these logs?

Answer 1

Quote man page and if you have a combined log format:

If we want to handle all access.log. *. gz, we can do one of the following:

 # zcat -f access.log* | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED 

OR

 # zcat access.log.*.gz | goaccess --log-format=COMBINED 

On Mac OS X, use gunzip -c instead of zcat .
