Is there a way to import old logs from some other place?

[sa2ajj]

We (Buildbot project) have been using an IRC logger for quite some time.

I'm looking at the task of hosting such a logger locally (so we could have a better control over how the things are shown in the archive). One of the things that we've been discussing is a possibility to import old logs. Is it possible? If not, what would be the place to look at?

Importing legacy logs into botbot is fairly straightforward, you can do it using django ORM. We do not have a generic importer because so far every time we had to do this the source was different.

My understanding is that you want to do run a self hosted botbot instance. If you prefer to host your logs on https://botbot.me. You can also send us a request and your legacy logs we will take care of back filling your logs.

Hi @yml ... is there a preferred method for sending a request to import legacy logs? Thanks in advance!

@downeym We're currently pretty heavily backlogged. Your best bet is to contact beep@botbot.me but it will not be fast :(

An example script of how to do this (for example loading from a text file) when self hosting would be extremely helpful.
