Your question is Log Parsing for Anomalous Error Spikes. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Write a script in Python or Bash to parse large volumes of system logs and flag anomalous error spikes.
Explain how you would choose the implementation, process logs efficiently, define an anomaly baseline, handle malformed or evolving log formats, and produce actionable output for operators. Include your assumptions, testing approach, and operational considerations.
