>Description:
DNS address is interesting but not 'canonical' enough for flow based
charging and reconciliation. 10% + of hosts don't have DNS names, and
of those that do, a significant number can't be reverse-looked up to their
IP address within 1 week of being used (dynamic pools etc)
I have therefore modified mod_log_config.c to include a new %I directive
to log the IP address, which is held in the r_>connection block anyway.
The code is very simple.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Here is the code: add to log_item_keys
{ 'I', log_remote_addr, 0 },
and add to the function lists
char *log_remote_addr (request_rec *r, char *a)
{
char dummy[16];
return pstrdup(r->pool, inet_ntoa(r->connection->remote_addr.sin_addr));
};
It just works! I'm using this with a modified filter on analog to parse
common logformat files, and sort/grade using IP address while still being
able to count DNS name
