<p><samp>reslog.pl</samp> version 2.1.0dev1 is released. This release fixes the problem that it wouldn’t run with <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> 5.8.0. I marked it as <q><abbr title="development">dev</abbr></q> because I wish I can implement <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Compress-Bzip2/"><samp>Compress::Bzip2</samp></a> and <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/"><samp>ExtUtils::MakeMaker</samp></a> in the 2.1.0 stable release.

<h2>Description</h2>
<p><dfn><samp>reslog</samp></dfn> reverse-resolves <abbr title="internet protocol">IP</abbr> in the <a href="http://httpd.apache.org/">Apache</a> log files. These log files can then be analyzed by another program, like <a href="http://analog.cx/">Analog</a>. You can think of it as a replacement of Apache <samp>HostNameLookups</samp> directive, in the sense that it resolves the client <abbr title="internet protocol">IP</abbr> altogether once a day.</p>
<h2>Caution</h2>
<ul>
<li><p><em>Resolving takes long time</em>. This is mainly caused by resolving: Network packets may be filtered by firewalls; <abbr title="Domain Name Service">DNS</abbr> servers may not be correctly configured; may not be up working; may sit in slow network sections; may be old slow machines; may have traffic jam… <abbr title="et cetera">etc</abbr>. All these reasons are out of our control.</p></li>
<li><p>If it stops in the middle of its execution, as when the user hits a <samp>Ctrl-Break</samp>, it may leave a temporary working file. The next time it runs, it will stop when it sees that temporary working file at the first sight. Please process that file first. You can resolve it again, just like an ordinary log file.</p></li>
<li><p>This prorgam needs temporary working space. Between memory and disk space, I choose disk space, since it is cheaper and may be available in more environments. However, this means that it needs free temporary disk space about 2 times of the size of the uncompressed source log log file (10 times if using memory). Please make sure you have that much free space.</p></li>
<li><p><samp>reslog</samp> does not support <abbr title="internet protocol version 6">IPv6</abbr> yet.</p></li>
<li><p>I suggest you to install <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-MMagic/"><samp>File::MMagic</samp></a> instead of counting on the <samp>file</samp> executable. The internal magic file of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-MMagic/"><samp>File::MMagic</samp></a> seems to work better than the <samp>file</samp> executable. <samp>reslog</samp> treats everything not <samp>gzip</samp> nor <samp>bzip2</samp> compressed as plain text. When a compressed log file is wrongly recognized as an image, <samp>reslog</samp> will treat it as plain text, read log records directly from it and fail. This failure does not hurt the source log files, but is still annoying.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>System Requirement</h2>
<ol>
<li><p><acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym>, version 5.8.0 or above. <samp>reslog</samp> uses 3-argument <samp>open()</samp> to duplicate filehandles, which is only supported since 5.8.0. I have not successfully port this onto earlier versions yet. Please tell me if you made it. You can run <q><samp>perl -v</samp></q> to see your current <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> version. If you don't have <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym>, or if you have an older version of <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym>, you can download and install/upgrade it from <a href="http://www.perl.com/">Perl website</a>. If you are using <abbr title="Microsoft">MS</abbr>-Windows, you can download and install <a href="http://www.activestate.com/">ActiveState ActivePerl</a>.</p></li>
<li><p>Required <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> modules: none.</p></li>
<li><p>Optional <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> modules:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-MMagic/"><samp>File::MMagic</samp></a></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is used to check the file type. If this is not available, <samp>reslog</samp> will look for the <samp>file</samp> executable instead. If that is not available, too, <samp>reslog</samp> will judge the file type by its name suffix (extension). In that case <samp>reslog</samp> will fail when reading from <samp>STDIN</samp>. ActivePerl <abbr title="Microsoft">MS</abbr>-Windows users can install this using <q xml:lang="en"><samp>ppm install File::MMagic</samp></q>, or get <samp>file.exe</samp> from the <a href="http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/">GnuWin32 home page</a>. Be sure to save it as <samp>file.exe</samp> somewhere in your <samp>PATH</samp>.</p>
<p>I suggest you use <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/File-MMagic/"><samp>File::MMagic</samp></a>. <samp>file</samp> executable seems to make mistakes occationally.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Compress-Zlib/"><samp>Compress::Zlib</samp></a></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is used to support read/write of gzip compressed files. It is only needed when gzip compressed files are encountered. If it is not available when needed, <samp>reslog</samp> will try to use the <samp>gzip</samp> executable instead. If that is not available, too, <samp>reslog</samp> will fail. ActivePerl <abbr title="Microsoft">MS</abbr>-Windows users can install this using <q xml:lang="en"><samp>ppm install Compress::Zlib</samp></q>, or get <samp>gzip.exe</samp> from the <a href="http://www.gzip.org/">gzip home page</a>. Be sure to save it as <samp>gzip.exe</samp> somewhere in your <samp>PATH</samp>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Compress-Bzip2/"><samp>Compress::Bzip2</samp></a>, version 2 or above</dt>
<dd>
<p>This is used to support read/write of bzip2 compressed files. It is only needed when bzip2 compressed files are encountered. If it is not available when needed, <samp>reslog</samp> will try to use the <samp>bzip2</samp> executable instead. If that is not available, too, <samp>reslog</samp> will fail. Notice that older versions before 2 does not work, since file <abbr title="input and output">I/O</abbr> compression were not implemented yet. ActivePerl <abbr title="Microsoft">MS</abbr>-Windows does not have <samp>Compress::Bzip2</samp> in their <abbr title="Programmer’s Package Manager">PPM</abbr> deposit yet, as the time I’m writing this. You can get <samp>bzip.exe</samp> from the <a href="http://www.bzip.org/">bzip home page</a> instead. Be sure to save it as <samp>bzip2.exe</samp> somewhere in your <samp>PATH</samp>.</p>
</dd>
<dt><a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/TermReadKey/"><samp>Term::ReadKey</samp></a></dt>
<dd>
<p>This is used to display the progress bar. Without this <samp>reslog</samp> won’t display the progress bar, but nothing else is different. The progress bar is a good visual representation of what <samp>reslog</samp> is currently doing.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>You can always search, download and install the missing <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> modules from the the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/"><abbr title="Comprehensive Perl Archive Network">CPAN</abbr> archive</a>.</p>

<p>If you are upgrading from <samp>reslog</samp> 3.10 or earlier, or if you are upgrading from <samp>reslog.pl</samp> 3.02 or earlier, please read <samp>UPGRADE</samp> for some upgrade instruction.</p>
<h3>Install with <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/"><samp>ExtUtils::MakeMaker</samp></a></h3>
<p><samp>reslog</samp> uses standard <acronym title="Practical Extraction and Reporting Language">Perl</acronym> installation with <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/"><samp>ExtUtils::MakeMaker</samp></a>. Follow these steps:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% make install
</pre></blockquote>
<p>When running <q><samp>make install</samp></q>, make sure you have the priviledge to write to the instalation location. This usually requires the <samp>root</samp> priviledge.</p>
<p>If you are using ActivePerl under <abbr title="Microsoft">MS</abbr>-Windows, you should use <samp>nmake</samp> instead of <samp>make</samp>. <a href="ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/Softlib/MSLFILES/nmake15.exe" type="application/x-dosexec"><samp>nmake</samp> can be obtained from the Microsoft <abbr title="File Transfer Protocol">FTP</abbr> site.</a></p>
<p>If you want to install into another location, you can set the <samp>PREFIX</samp>. For example, to install into your home when you are not <samp>root</samp>:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
% perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/home/jessica
</pre></blockquote>
<p>Refer to the docuemntation of <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/ExtUtils-MakeMaker/" hreflang="en" xml:lang="en"><samp>ExtUtils::MakeMaker</samp></a> for more installation options (by running <q><samp>perldoc ExtUtils::MakeMaker</samp></q>).</p>
<h3>Install with <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Build/"><samp>Module::Build</samp></a></h3>
<p>You can install with <a href="http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Build/"><samp>Module::Build</samp></a> instead, if you prefer. Follow these steps:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
% perl Build.PL
% ./Build
% ./Build test
% ./Build install
</pre></blockquote>
<p>When running <q><samp>./Build install</samp></q>, make sure you have the priviledge to write to the instalation location. This usually requires the <samp>root</samp> priviledge.</p>
<p>If you want to install into another location, you can set the <samp>--prefix</samp>. For example, to install into your home when you are not <samp>root</samp>:</p>
<blockquote><pre>
% perl Build.PL --prefix=/home/jessica
</pre></blockquote>
