# Fake Apache Log Generator
This script generates a boatload of fake apache logs very quickly. Its useful for generating fake workloads for [data ingest](http://github.com/streamsets/datacollector) and/or analytics applications.
It can write log lines to console, to log files or directly to gzip files.
It utilizes the excellent [Faker](https://github.com/joke2k/faker/) library to generate realistic ip's, URI's etc.
***
## Basic Usage
Generate a single log line to STDOUT
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py
```
Generate 100 log lines into a .log file
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py -n 100 -o LOG
```
Generate 100 log lines into a .gz file at intervals of 10 seconds
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py -n 100 -o GZ -s 10
```
Infinite log file generation (useful for testing File Tail Readers)
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py -n 0 -o LOG
```
Prefix the output filename
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py -n 100 -o LOG -p WEB1
```
Detailed help
```
$ python apache-fake-log-gen.py -h
