Author Looking for access log filter program
John Gordon

I'm looking for a program that can process a server access log and exclude
hits based on various criteria -- IP address, URL requested, user agent,
HTTP status code, and so on.

I've found lots of analyzer programs that can do this as part of their
analysis, but I just want a filter program that strips unwanted hits out
of the access log and leaves the rest of the file for me to do my own
analysis on. Basically, I'm just looking for an overblown grep.

Ideally, this program would be freely available, and in source code form,
but I'll take anything I can get.

Anyone know of such a program?

The cronosplit program available from http://cronolog.org/ may be a good
starting point, you can easily modify the program to only write out
records that meet your criteria.
