from datetime import datetime, timedelta
from time import mktime, strptime
now = datetime.now()
midnight = now.replace(hour=0, minute=0, second=0, microsecond=0)
one_hour_ago = now - timedelta(hours=1)
daily_instances = 0
hourly_instances = 0
with open('myfile.log') as logfile:
for line in logfile:
if 'Successfully Sent' in line:
time_string = line[0:19]
struct = strptime(time_string, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")
log_time = datetime.fromtimestamp(mktime(struct))
if log_time > midnight:
daily_instances += 1
if log_time > one_hour_ago:
hourly_instances += 1
print "Instances in the last hour: ", hourly_instances
print "Instances since midnight: ", daily_instances
This code assumes that log lines begin with a timestamp similar to
"2013-01-23T09:27:01". If the timestamp is in a different format, or
occurs elsewhere in the line, you'll have to adjust for that.
