Parse Apache Log By Date + Sorted

In this example, we will parse the apache log of a specific date(19/april/2014) and time(between 13:00 and 13:08)

awk '$4>"[19/Apr/2014:13:00:" && $4<"[19/Apr/2014:13:08:"' /var/log/apache2/access.log | |awk '{print $1}' | sort | uniq -c | sort -gr

The output will be something like that

    528 157.x.229.88
    276 93.4.x.241
    196 86.214.x.38
    195 77.x.178.225
    192 92.90.x.62
    190 109.x.96.247
    181 197.31.x.150
    164 105.158.x.175
    157 88.x.195.41
    155 84.x.192.57
    154 78.113.x.152
    152 109.210.144.102
    150 80.x.162.139
    141 88.x.103.78
    138 90.84.x.217
