At the kolla design summit yesterday in Barcelona, someone said there is no tool to search words in the logs of an OpenStack IRC channel. https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/IRC The OpenStack IRC logs have invaluable information and solutions to many problems. Attached is a little script I wrote to search regular expressions in the #openstack-kolla IRC channel. It can be updated to search words in any OpenStack IRC channel. For example, if you need help about the error "DockerException: Error while fetching server API version" in the logs of the #openstack-kolla IRC channel, just do the following. $ ./search_openstack_irc.py ".*DockerException: Error while fetching server API version.*" Found in http://eavesdrop.openstack.org/irclogs/%23openstack-kolla/%23openstack-kolla.2016-09-05.log.html Below is the snippet in the IRC log. [cid:FEBA5E60-8D92-47C5-93E9-0F3DA57C2E84] Hope it helps and let me know if you find any bug in the script!
