I want to find out in which of my 1200 *.gz files a certain IP address occurs on a certain date (17.07.2025).
I could not find the IP address in my current logs:
grep 'IP address' *.logs
My attempt to see if the IP even exists in the older, zipped log files returns: 'The argument list is too long'.
zgrep 'IP address' *
A combination of find and grep was also unsuccessful.
I am grateful for any assistance.
