SYNOPSISclfdomainsplit [--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.work‐
benelux.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 compar‐
ison, the default will be:
2:com
2:nl
3:au
3:uk
If no config file is specified then it will look for /etc/clfdomain‐
split.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!
