NAME

       welf2dlf - convert firewall logs in WebTrends Enhanced Log Format to DLF

SYNOPSIS

       welf2dlf file

DESCRIPTION

       welf2dlf converts firewall logs in the WebTrends Enhanced Log Format into the firewall DLF.

       That format is defined at the following URL: http://www.netiq.com/partners/technology/welf.asp

       This converter also supports the SonicWall extensions.

       A list of firewall products that supports that format can be found at the following URL: http://www.netiq.com/products/fwr/compatible.asp

IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

       Since the firewall DLF only supports packet filters, not all records will be mapped to DLF.

       Dropped packets messages (those with a field msg="XXX packet dropped") will be mapped to denied DLF packet. (As well as all msg="TCP
       connection dropped" records). Those packets will have a length of 0 (that's a limitation of the format which don't log that information on
       dropped packet).

       Messages with a proto= field set will be interpretted as "permitted" "packet". That's not exactly "right" because this message really
       represent a "packets flow" and not a single packet.

       Other records will be ignored.

       You may use the welf_proxy service in the proxy superservice to extract proxy level information from WELF logs.

EXAMPLES

       To process a log as produced by WebTrends:

	$ welf2dlf < welf.log

       welf2dlf will be rarely used on its own, but is more likely called by lr_log2report:

	$ lr_log2report welf < /var/log/welf.log

THANKS

       Mark D. Nagel, for giving feedback and supplying patches.

NAME

       Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter - convert Microsoft Ftp Server Logs into DLF

SYNOPSIS

       Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter

DESCRIPTION

       Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter converts Microsoft FTP Server log files into the FTP DLF format. Those log files are in a format which is
       based on the W3C Extended Log Format.

       To have the maximum information in you reports, we suggests that you log the following fields:

       time, time-taken, c-dns or c-ip, cs-uri-stem, sc-bytes

       We also support the cs-uri 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. This means that all records in the log file must have the same format.
