Mail::Abuse::Incident::Log - Parses generic logs into Mail::Abuse::Reports
use Mail::Abuse::Report; use Mail::Abuse::Incident::Log; my $i = new Mail::Abuse::Incident::Log; my $report = new Mail::Abuse::Report (incidents => [$i] );
This class parses generic logs that include a timestamp and an IP address in the same group of lines. Various configuration keys can influence the way this module works, as follows:
Controls how many consecutive lines to attempt a match on. More lines generally means more incidents parsed, but might lead to false matches. Its default value is 5 lines, which seems to work well enough. This should vary widely by site.
When set to a true value, produces some debugging information sent through warn().
warn()
The following functions are provided for the customization of the behavior of the class.
parse($report)
Pushes all instances of log incidents into the given report, based on parsing of the text in the report itself.
Returns a list of objects of the same class, with the incident data (IP address, timestamp and other information) filled.
The IP address and timestamp searching is done in a consecutive number of lines. This number can be set with the log lines variable, and defaults to 5 lines.
log lines
This module tends to get a significant number of, potentially false, incidents out of reports. Adjust the number of lines carefully based on the types of complaints that your site receives.
None by default.
