NAME

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

SYNOPSIS

       clfdomainsplit [--help] [-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  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
