Which scripts will search a log file for the IP address of 192.168.100.100 and create an output file named parsed_host.log while printing results to the console?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To determine the correct script, we evaluate the following requirements:

The script must search for the IP address 192.168.100.100.

The output should be written to a file named parsed_host.log.

The matching lines should be printed to the console.

Analysis of the options:

Option A: Correct IP regex used and correct output filename, but reads from parsed_host.log instead of a source log file like test_log.log (not ideal for initial parsing).

Option C: The IP address used is 192.168.100.101 instead of 192.168.100.100 --- incorrect.

Option D: Same IP address and logic as Option B, but uses print statement without parentheses, which is not valid in Python 3 unless using Python 2 --- not ideal.

Option B:

Uses correct IP: '192.168.100.100'

Reads from test_log.log (presumably the source log file).

Writes to output/parsed_host.log.

Prints each matching line and writes to output file --- satisfying all conditions.

I practiced a question where we had to extract data from logs, but I’m confused about the differences in the options provided here.

I feel like one of the options had a pipe to both the output file and the console, but I can't remember which one it was.

I think the script needs to use grep or awk to filter the IP address, but I can’t recall the exact syntax for outputting to a file and console at the same time.

I remember practicing a similar question about searching log files, but I’m not sure if it was specifically for an IP address.
