Hi everybody
I am currently trying to exploit our IIS server logs to get manageable usage reports of the company intranet : analog looks like just the right tool to do this!
but the catch is, I have been asked to identify each user by his computer host name. I thus have to use some kinf of DNS lookup to convert the IP address contained in the log files into a host name. Unfortunately, we are using DHCP assigned IPs, so the relationship between an IP and a host name is kind of time-dependent. I have access to a log file which traces the IP changes of every connected host, it looks like :
 
<hostname>;<IP>;04/02/02  19:29:36
<hostname>;<IP>;04/02/02  19:30:48
<hostname>;<IP>;04/03/02  11:28:59
etc...
 
I was wondering if there was a way to use this as a kind of dns cache file, maybe by converting the date/time into a timestamp?
anyway, I need to resolve the IPs in my IIS log to the host that was using it at that time, so I would really apreciate it if someone could tell me wether I have any chance of success using this DHCP log with analog, or if I should try to find another piece of software which would make my life easier :-)
thanks a lot for any suggestions
 
kindly
Bruno
