This small script will count repeated patterns in the Logs.

Ideal for checking if there are errors that you’re missing while developing.

#!/usr/bin/env bash
# count_repeated_pattern_in_logs.sh
# By Carles Mateo
# Helps to find repeated lines in Logs
LOGFILE_MESSAGES="/var/log/messages"
LOGFILE_SYSLOG="/var/log/syslog"
if [[ -f "${LOGFILE_MESSAGES}" ]]; then
LOGFILE=${LOGFILE_MESSAGES}
else
LOGFILE=${LOGFILE_SYSLOG}
fi
echo "Using Logfile: ${LOGFILE}"
CMD_OUTPUT=`cat ${LOGFILE} | awk '{ $1=$2=$3=$4=""; print $0 }' | sort | uniq --
count | sort --ignore-case --reverse --numeric-sort`
echo -e "$CMD_OUTPUT"

Basically it takes out the non relevant fields that can prevent from detecting repetition, like the time, and prints the rest.
Then you will launch it like this:

count_repeated_pattern_in_logs.sh | head -n20

If you are checking a machine with Ubuntu UFW (Firewall) and want to skip those likes:

./repeated.sh | grep -v "UFW BLOCK" | head -n20
