I have a (hopefully) interesting problem that I could use some advice on. I have a system that's essentially used for storing logs. It has a directory structure like:
YYYY/MM/DD/hostname/
There are a number of hostnames, and under each one are a bunch of gzipped hourly logs (access, error, etc).
What I'm interested in is the total count of a given string in the access logs broken down by day and hostname. What's the best way to do this? Is this possible with a find and grep combination, or is it too complicated for that and instead need a script?
