SYNOPSIS

ufdbAnalyse [options] <logfiles>

DESCRIPTION

ufdb_analyse_urls is a log analysis utility which parses one or more log files of Squid, retrieves the URLs, and uploads the stripped URLs to the servers of URLfilterDB where they are analysed. The analysis with the URL category report will be emailed to you.

The various options control which URLs are included in the output.

OPTIONS

-a: Flag to indicate that the log file format is "Apache".
-l <LOG>: specifies the Squid log file. Multiple files may be specified.
-d <FQDN>: specifies the fully qualified domainname of this site. URLs with this FQDN are put in the pseudo-category "own domain".
-e <EMAIL>: specifies the email address of the person that receives teh generated analysis report.
-n <FULL NAME>: specifies the full name of the person that runs the analysis request.
-v: be verbose.

WARNINGS

Analysis of urls is slow since (very) large log files are processed. It may take 50 seconds to process 400 MB on a common server.
