NAME
webresolve, splitwr
SYNOPSIS
webresolve < access_log > access_log.resolved splitwr access_log > access_log.resolved
DESCRIPTION
Webresolve is used in conjunction with a log analyzer to get host names rather than IP addresses in the statistics. Preprocess the log files with webresolve to replace IP addresses with host names. The load from webresolve is very light, because it spends most of its time waiting for the resolver. This also means that large files can take quite some time to process. The solution is to split the log file and run several resolution processes in parallel. This is done by the script splitwr. By default, splitwr runs 20 parallel resolution processes. The number can be changed by editing the script.
