Parsing gitlab-shell.log with jq

Ben Prescott_ requested to merge bprescott/docs/20210416-jq into master

What does this MR do?

Adds JQ incantations for summarizing git operations logged in gitlab-shell.log

I don't have a good log to parse, so I made something up to check my grouping/limit operations worked:

count: 11	user: botuser	project: test/foo4/bigprojectv1
count: 5	user: botuser	project: test/foo1/bigprojectv1
count: 4	user: foo3user	project: test/foo3/bigprojectv1
count: 4	user: foo4user	project: test/foo4/bigprojectv1
count: 3	user: foo1user	project: test/foo1/bigprojectv1
count: 2	user: foo2user	project: test/foo2/bigprojectv1
count: 1	user: bprescott-root	project: test/zd158866/bigprojectv1

count: 11	user: botuser	project: test/foo4/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 5	user: botuser	project: test/foo1/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 4	user: foo3user	project: test/foo3/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 4	user: foo4user	project: test/foo4/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 3	user: foo1user	project: test/foo1/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 2	user: foo2user	project: test/foo2/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack
count: 1	user: bprescott-root	project: test/zd158866/bigprojectv1	command: git-upload-pack

A customer might share some output though, and GitLab team members can follow along in the ticket

Author's checklist (required)

Do not add the feature, frontend, backend, ~"bug", or database labels if you are only updating documentation. These labels will cause the MR to be added to code verification QA issues.

When applicable:

Review checklist

All reviewers can help ensure accuracy, clarity, completeness, and adherence to the Documentation Guidelines and Style Guide.

1. Primary Reviewer

  • Review by a code reviewer or other selected colleague to confirm accuracy, clarity, and completeness. This can be skipped for minor fixes without substantive content changes.

2. Technical Writer

  • Technical writer review. If not requested for this MR, must be scheduled post-merge. To request for this MR, assign the writer listed for the applicable DevOps stage.

For more information about labels, see Technical Writing workflows - Labels.

For suggestions that you are confident don't need to be reviewed, change them locally and push a commit directly to save others from unneeded reviews. For example:

  • Clear typos, like this is a typpo.
  • Minor issues, like single quotes instead of double quotes, Oxford commas, and periods.

For more information, see our documentation on Merging a merge request.

3. Maintainer

  1. Review by assigned maintainer, who can always request/require the above reviews. Maintainer's review can occur before or after a technical writer review.
  2. Ensure a release milestone is set.
  3. If there has not been a technical writer review, create an issue for one using the Doc Review template.
