Decompress log files

Access Gateway logs are provided as .tar.gz files, which can be decompressed by using tools like tar and gunzip. To decompress a log file:

  1. Navigate to the directory that contains the log file and use tar to decompress the file:
    cd ~/Downloads/
    tar -xvf oag.okta.com-20211206.tar.gz
    								
    oag.okta.com/
    x oag.okta.com/access/
    x oag.okta.com/access/access.log.gz
    . . . 
    x oag.okta.com/audit/
    x oag.okta.com/audit/audit.log
    x oag.okta.com/audit/sudoers.log
    . . 
    x oag.okta.com/unbound/
    x oag.okta.com/unbound/unbound.log.gz
    
  2. Select the directory containing the log of interest and decompress.
    cd ~/<instance-name>/all
    gunzip ics_all.log.gz
    ls -lha ics_all.log
