# flm

fake log maker

This script will generate a list of random urls, a list of random ip address and time stamps.

The goal is to demonstrate that such data don't take much space to store.

You might need to install `pip install humanfriendly`

The output will look like that:

```
log lines: 2000000
original size: 109.12 MB
bz2 size: 16.05 MB
gzip size: 28.84 MB
zlib size: 29.7 MB
```

As you can see (this above is a real output, you might get a different result as it uses random number(actually, this reminded me to add a seed...)) so get ready to generate a large file. Also, depending on your computer and number of log lines, the file might crash or at least take a long time to load in your editor. Check the size first.

The script will also generate a log.txt file

You can try differents settings by simply updating the code:

```
population = 10000

loglines = 2000000

lines_per_minute = 5

domain_count = 120
page_per_domain_min = 3
page_per_domain_max = 13
```
