grep filtering question
 

in /tmp folder, i have around 30 web server log files, i want to retrieve lines with status code 4** and srcip not belong to 127.0.0.1 and 192.168.*.*
I go to /tmp and write below query:
cat *.log | grep "status code:4**"| grep ^127.0.0.1 and ^192.168.*.*
but it said ^127.0.0.1 no such file.
any idea? do we need to use regex?

what you posted is syntactically incorrect.
probably works better. Would be nice to learn grep (if you wish to use it)

Try
Though I'm not sure about the syntax - are you sure it's always exactly "status code:" immediately followed by the 4xx status code, no spaces? Are you sure the srcip is always the first thing on each line?
etc.

I want to filter out srcip=127.0.0.1 or 192.168.*.*
but we want dstip: 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.*.*

Sorry but this makes even less sense than your previous post :scratch:

I guess that would be something like source ip and destination ip. Probably that makes some sense.

yes

Post a handful of example lines from those log files, and whether they should be kept/excluded.

(If necessary, replace sensitive information with dummy strings, but don't change the format/structure of the line.)

Also, use "[code]..[/code]" to preserve formatting.
