logresolve - Man Page

Resolve IP-addresses to hostnames in Apache log files

Synopsis

logresolve [ -s filename ] [ -c ] < access_log > access_log​.new

Summary

logresolve is a post-processing program to resolve IP-addresses in Apache's access logfiles​. To minimize impact on your nameserver, logresolve has its very own internal hash-table cache​. This means that each IP number will only be looked up the first time it is found in the log file​.

Takes an Apache log file on standard input​. The IP addresses must be the first thing on each line and must be separated from the remainder of the line by a space​.

Options

-s filename

Specifies a filename to record statistics​.  

-c

This causes logresolve to apply some DNS checks: after finding the hostname from the IP address, it looks up the IP addresses for the hostname and checks that one of these matches the original address​.
