webalizer or analog equivalent for SSL-based access_logs

Steven Sim Kok Leong — Fri, 04 Jan 2002 09:54:08 GMT

Hi all,

Anyone knows of a freeware that allows statistical parsing of ssl_request_logs (HTTP-SSL access_logs) the same way webalizer and analog does for access_log (HTTP access_logs) for Apache+SSL webserver?

Thanks in advance. Regards.

access_logs for https (SSL) vs. http (non-SSL) are the same. We use analog for both.

Hi,

Two lines of access_log:

202.156.255.212 - - [04/Dec/2001:18:47:22 +0800] "GET /scripts/..%252f../winnt/system32/cmd.exe?/c+dir HTTP/1.0" 404 294 "-" "-"
127.0.0.1 - - [05/Dec/2001:09:34:56 +0800] "get" 501 - "-" "-"

Two lines of ssl_request_log:

[05/Jan/2002:07:28:27 +0800] 192.168.123.120 SSLv3 RC4-MD5 "POST /cgi-bin/itrc.cgi HTTP/1.1" 7293
[05/Jan/2002:07:28:56 +0800] 192.168.123.120 SSLv3 RC4-MD5 "GET /cgi-bin/itrc.cgi HTTP/1.1" 534

Their formatting is different. Anyway, I found out later that access_log uses the LogFormat setting in httpd.conf while ssl_request_log uses the CustomLog setting in httpd.conf.

Thanks. Regards.

Either
1) tell analog what format the logs are in (see http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html)
or
2) tell apache/iPlanet/Netscape etc. what format you'd like the log files to be in (see the documentation for your web server).

Hi,

In my first response, I had already updated CustomLog to tailor ssl_request_log to use the same format as LogFormat which is used to tailor access_log which fixed my issue.

Anyway, thanks for the information. Regards.
