NAME

       clfdomainsplit - split Common-Log Format web logs based on domain name

SYNOPSIS

       clfdomainsplit [--help] [-v] [-i input] [-d defaultfile] [-c cfg-file] [-o directory]

DESCRIPTION

       The  clfdomainsplit  program  will  split up large CLF format web logs based on domain name.  This is for
       creating separate log analysis passes for each domain hosted on your server.

OVERVIEW

       The  -v option specifies that verbose errors should be reported.  The  input parameter specifies the file
       to read (default is standard input).

       The    defaultfile  parameter  specifies where data goes if it doesn't have a domain (either it has an IP
       address for the server or it doesn't have the server-name - the URL is relative to the root  of  the  web
       server only).  The default will be to print them on standard error.

       The  cfg-file parameter is for specifying the rules for determining what is a different domain name.  For
       example www.coker.com.au belongs in the same file as coker.com.au  and  abc.coker.com.au  because  domain
       names  ending in .au have three major components.  The domain names www.workbenelux.nl and workbenelux.nl
       belong in the same file because domain names ending in .nl have two major components  (as  do  .com,  and
       .gov),  wheras  anything  ending  in  .va  belongs  to  the same organization.  The rules are of the form
       number:pattern which lists the number of domain parts which are significant (2 for .com and for a  simple
       string comparison, the default will be:

       2:com

       2:nl

       3:au

       3:uk

       If  no  config file is specified then it will look for /etc/clfdomainsplit.cfg.  Of course comments start
       with #.  Also note that the first match will be used!

       The directory parameter is to specify the location for the files to be created (default  is  the  current
       directory).   I  recommend  that you use a directory for this and nothing else as you never know how many
       files may be created!

EXIT STATUS

       0 No errors

       1 Bad parameters
