From rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com Fri Jun 6 09:23:13 2008 From: rgerhards at hq.adiscon.com (Rainer Gerhards) Date: Fri, 6 Jun 2008 09:23:13 +0200 Subject: [phpLogCon] IP's in log files Message-ID: <577465F99B41C842AAFBE9ED71E70ABA309186@grfint2.intern.adiscon.com> Hi, I think it would be a good addition to phpLogCon to be able to resolve IP addresses in log files to DNS names. As of now, we can already identify/guess what an IP address is. We currently use that to generate a link to the knowledge base which then has additional information. However, I think the probably most useful information (and useful even within private address space) is the name that has been assigned to this host. So I propose we add the optional (!) capability to resolve IP addresses. I suggest we add them, in curly braces, to after the IP address. The knowledge base link should still exists, as it provides valuable additional information. This may look like this here: 172.19.0.1{system.example.net} Note that a log may already contain something like this: 172.19.0.1[server.example.com] Where the machine identifies itself. I suggest we make it configurable if the phpLogCon-resolved name will be added in such cases. I see value in it, because the phpLogCon-resolved name is consistent. I would, for example, expect things like this: 172.19.0.1{system.example.net}[server.example.com] I would appreciate if we could add this functionality relatively soon, at least if there is no objection.
