LOGFILE=$(mktemp /tmp/nginxanalyze.XXXXXX)

Answer 1

The script ~/analyze_nginx.sh parses nginx combined-format access logs (with optional $request_time as the last field) and computes four metrics using only awk, sort, uniq, and grep.

Script analyze_nginx.sh:

#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail

# Buffer stdin to a temp file so we can do multiple passes
if [ $# -eq 0 ] || [ "$1" = "-" ]; then
    LOG_FILE=$(mktemp /tmp/nginx_analyze.XXXXXX)
    trap 'rm -f "$LOG_FILE"' EXIT
    cat > "$LOG_FILE"
elif [ ! -f "$1" ]; then
    echo "Error: file '$1' not found" >&2
    exit 1
else
    LOG_FILE="$1"

    split(request, parts, " ")
    endpoint = parts[2]; sub(/\?.*$/, "", endpoint)
    last = $NF
    if (last ~ /^[0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)?$/) {

Key design decisions:

IP extraction uses awk '{print $1}' instead of a regex, supporting both IPv4 and IPv6.
Endpoint extraction finds the content between the first pair of double quotes, splits on spaces to get the URI, and strips query strings.
Response time detection checks whether the last field is a decimal number — making it compatible with both standard combined format (no timing) and extended format with $request_time.
95th percentile is computed entirely in awk via insertion sort; no external sort needed for the samples themselves.
RPM sort uses multi-key sort on year, day, month (as text), hour, and minute for chronological order.

Evidence & signatures

All tests ran from `~/`:

| Test Case | Input | Result |
|-----------|-------|--------|
| **Standard log (23 lines)** | `test_access.log` | All 4 metrics correct |
| **IPv6 addresses** | `ipv6.log` with `<ip-address>` and `<ip-address>` | Both parsed as top IPs |
| **No response time field** | `no_rt.log` (standard combined format) | IPs + RPM still work; endpoint avg and percentile show N/A gracefully |
| **Empty file** | `empty.log` | No errors, empty output |
| **Non-existent file** | nonexistent path | Clean error message, exit code 1 |
| **Stdin pipe** | `head -3 \| ./analyze_nginx.sh` | All 4 metrics computed correctly from piped input |

**Manual verification of key values (23-line sample):**

- **IPs**: `<ip-address>` → 5 requests (lines 1,3,5,11,16), `<ip-address>` → 3, etc. ✓
- **Avg response time**: `/api/users` = `(0.045+0.210+0.055+0.340+0.067+0.033+0.041+0.029)/8 = 0.1025` ✓
- **95th percentile**: 23 samples sorted; index `int(0.95×23+0.5)=22` → `0.340s` ✓
- **RPM**: 13:55 → 4, 13:56 → 7, 13:57 → 10, 13:58 → 2 ✓
