Performance Evaluation

Recently we have been getting requests regarding the efficiency of the log-parser. To be totally honest, we have not really devlved too much into this as the problems we needed to solve were never too challenging.

Despite this it is a very good question and we need to asess it in a clean manner. We identify the following cases that need to be measured:

• Number of parsed files
• Total size of parsed files
• Size of biggest file to analyze

We also need to tweak this with the amount of data being detected:

• Found entries
• Stored entries
