Regarding IP Filter ... for Logs

[sugath]

Hi there,

Does anybody know a tool which is available for free evaluation ...

I want to tool which filters internal IP's (i.e. IP's within the company)so that i get to see the valid hits to my site from outside visitors ...

or any other way that can be done using our raw logs ... Please let me know

thanks

I'm not sure which platform your using, but if you're using a *nix host you can use grep. It has a -v option to exclude whatever you tell it to. I do realise this is a little low level and isn't a necessarily easy thing to do, but it is one way.

Another thing to look at though would be your log analyzer. I just explained to someone else in this thread [webmasterworld.com ] how there's a built in function in awstats to exclude IPs or IP ranges. If you're not using awstats, your program might have something similar already built in.

No i am using Windows Platform .... i guess we have grep for windows also can we filter out IP's with Windows grep.

what tool would u suggest which has this facility to filter out IP's or range of IP's so that we get to know the valid HITS to your site.

Thanx ...
