.SH "NAME"
Lire::WELF \- Base implementation of a WebTrends(tm) Enhanced Log Format parser
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
use Lire::WELF;
.PP
my \f(CW$parser\fR = new Lire::WELF;
.PP
my \f(CW$welf_rec\fR = \f(CW$parser\fR\->parse( \f(CW$line\fR );
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This module defines an object able to parse WebTrends(tm) Enhanced Log
Format. That log format was defined by WebTrends(tm) for its Firewall
Suite. It defines an extensible format that is now used by several
packet filter and/or proxy firewall.
.PP
The document describing that format is available from
http://www.webtrends.com/partners/welfOverview.htm
.PP
A list of products/vendor that supports this format can be found at
http://www.webtrends.com/partners/firewall.htm
.PP
You create a \s-1WELF\s0 parser object using the \fInew()\fR method:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    my $parser = new Lire::WELF();
.Ve
.PP
To parse a \s-1WELF\s0 record you invoke the \fIparser()\fR method with the line
containing the record as parameter:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    my $rec    = $parser\->parse( $line );
.Ve
.PP
The \f(CW$rec\fR is an hash reference with the \s-1WELF\s0 field name used as keys
and the value of the records as values.
.PP
No value are interpreted or checked in any except for the following:
.IP "time" 4
.IX Item "time"
The time field will be converted to epoch time
.IP "quotation" 4
.IX Item "quotation"
The quotation marks used when the value contains spaces are removed.
.SS "\s-1WELF\s0 \s-1EXTENSIONS\s0"
.IX Subsection "WELF EXTENSIONS"
The parser also supports \*(L"extensions\*(R" to the format found in the
field.
.IP "port" 4
.IX Item "port"
We will interpret correctly src and dst fields that have the
port embededded in them:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    src=192.168.1.1:1037
.Ve
.IP "interface" 4
.IX Item "interface"
A possible :IFNAME will also be interpreted as the interface name:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    dst=192.168.100.10:23:WAN
.Ve
.IP "timezone" 4
.IX Item "timezone"
The time field may contains a time zone identifier:
.Sp
.Vb 1
\&    time="2001\-12\-02 12:34:12 UTC"
.Ve
.SS "Derived Fields"
.IX Subsection "Derived Fields"
The parser will generate a few 'derived' to complete the format.
.IP "src_port" 4
.IX Item "src_port"
Will contain the src port portion of the dst field when SonicWall
extensions are used.
.IP "dst_port" 4
.IX Item "dst_port"
Will contain the interface portion of the dst field when SonicWall
extensions are used.
.IP "src_if" 4
.IX Item "src_if"
Will contain the interface portion of the src field when SonicWall
extensions are used.
.IP "dst_if" 4
.IX Item "dst_if"
Will contain the interface portion of the dst field when SonicWall
extensions are used.
