IisFtpDlfConverter(3pm)

📦 version 2.1.1, in arch rolling

💅 NAME 💅

Okay so bestie, meet Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter — the lil icon whose whole job is converting Microsoft FTP Server logs into DLF. That's it, that's the gig. 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter

No args, no drama, she just works. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So Lire::FTP::IisFtpDlfConverter takes your Microsoft FTP Server log files and turns them into the FTP DLF format. Those log files? They're in a format that's based on the W3C Extended Log Format — so like, cousin energy, iykyk. 🦋

Now listen, if you want your reports to be maximalist and give you everything, we literally suggest you log these fields:

  • time
  • time-taken
  • c-dns or c-ip
  • cs-uri-stem
  • sc-bytes

And we also support cs-uri too, because we're generous like that. 💖

Everything else? Ignored. Not in a mean way, just… not invited to the party. 🙈

💀 LIMITATIONS 💀

Real talk, bestie, there are a couple of things this converter does not do, and you need to know:

  • The converter doesn't handle aggregation (those records with a count field) and will straight-up refuse to process those logs. Not a vibe, but it's the rule. 🫶
  • It also doesn't support changing the fields in the middle of the log file. Meaning: all records in the log file must have the same format. Like, consistency is the bare minimum, fr fr. ✨
