dbilogstrip1p

Filter to normalize dbi trace logs for diff'ing

Usage

Read DBI trace file "dbitrace.log" and write out a stripped version to "dbitrace_stripped.log"

dbilogstrip dbitrace.log > dbitrace_stripped.log

diff -u dbitrace1.log dbitrace2.log

Replaces any hex addresses, e.g, 0x128f72ce with "0xN".

Replaces any references to process id or thread id, like "pid#6254" with "pidN".

So a DBI trace line like this:

  -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0x19162a0)~0x191f9c8 'f_params' ARRAY(0x1922018)) thr#1800400

will look like this:

  -> STORE for DBD::DBM::st (DBI::st=HASH(0xN)~0xN 'f_params' ARRAY(0xN)) thrN
