## logresolvemerge.pl

logresolvemerge allows you to merge several log files into one output,
sorted on date. It also makes a fast reverse DNS lookup to replace
all IP addresses into host names in resulting log file.
logresolvemerge comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY. It's a free software
distributed with a GNU General Public License (See COPYING.txt file).
logresolvemerge is part of AWStats but can be used alone as a log merger
or resolver before using any other log analyzer.
Usage:
logresolvemerge.pl [options] file
logresolvemerge.pl [options] file1 ... filen
logresolvemerge.pl [options] *.*
Options:
-dnslookup make a reverse DNS lookup on IP adresses (not done by default)
-showsteps to add benchmark informations every 5000 lines processed
This runs logresolvemerge in command line to open one or several web
server log files to merge them (sorted on date) and/or to make a reverse
DNS lookup. The result log file is sent on standard output.
Note: logresolvemerge is not a 'sort' tool to sort one file. It's a
software able to output sorted log records (with a reverse DNS lookup
made if wanted) even if log records are shaked in several files.
However each of thoose files must be already independently sorted itself
(but that is the case in all web server log files).
logresolvemerge is particularly usefull when you want to merge large log
files in a fast process and with a low use of memory getting records in a
chronological order from a pipe (for use by a log analyzer).
Now supports/detects:
Automatic detection of log format
No need of extra Perl library
