NAME
w3c_extended2dlf - convert W3C Extended Log file to DLF
SYNOPSIS
w3c_extended2dlf file
DESCRIPTION
w3c_extended2dlf converts web server log files in the W3C Extended Log
Format to the www DLF. This log format is defined at
http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-logfile.html
It is used by IIS 4.0 and IIS 5.0. This is a customizable format which contains an header specifying which information is present in the log.
To have the maximum information in you reports, we suggests that you
log the following fields :
date, time, c-ip, c-dns, cs-uri, cs-method, sc-bytes, sc-status,
cs(User-Agent), cs(Referer) and cs-username
We also support the cs-uri-stem field.
Other fields will be ignored.
LIMITATIONS
The converter doesn't handle aggregation (record with count field) and
will refuse to process those logs. Also it doesn't support changing the
fields in the middle of the log file. It will ignore records that don't
have the same schema than the first one defined.
EXAMPLES
- To process a log as produced in the W3C Extended Log Format:
- $ w3c_extended2dlf < extended.log
- w3c_extended2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely
called by lr_log2report:
$ lr_log2report w3c_extended < /var/log/httpd/extended.log
