🔍 Monitoring Script

A sample monitor_logs.sh is included to check log stats (200, 404, etc.) every 2 hours:

#!/bin/bash
LOG_FILE="fruit_api.log"
echo "📊 Log Report - $(date)"
grep "RESPONSE" $LOG_FILE | awk '{print $0}' | grep -oP "status': \K\d+" | sort | uniq -c

Run manually:

bash monitor_logs.sh

Or add to cron (every 2 hours):

0 */2 * * * /path/to/monitor_logs.sh >> log_report.txt
