Calculate Error Rate from Log Stream in Python
Parses a mock log stream to count errors and compute the error percentage using a rolling window of recent entries.
import re
from collections import deque
def error_rate_from_log_stream(message):
log_pattern = r'^\[(\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2})\] (ERROR|INFO|DEBUG): (.*)$'
recent_entries = deque(maxlen=100)
error_count = 0
total_count = 0
for line in message.strip().split('\n'):
match = re.mat…How to Parse Log Lines with Regex in Python
Extracts timestamp, log level, service name, and message from a log line using compiled regex named groups.
import re
LOG_PATTERN = re.compile(
r'^(?P<timestamp>\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}) '
r'\[(?P<level>\w+)\] '
r'\((?P<service>[^)]+)\) '
r'(?P<message>.*)$'
)

match = LOG_PATTERN.match(line)
if not match:
