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
