NAME Parse::IASLog - A parser for Microsoft IAS-formatted log entries. SYNOPSIS Function Interface: use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Parse::IASLog; while (<>) { chomp; my $record = parse_ias( $_ ); next unless $record; print Dumper( $record ); } Object Interface: use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Parse::IASLog; my $ias = Parse::IASLog->new(); while (<>) { chomp; my $record = $ias->parse( $_ ); next unless $record; print Dumper( $record ); } DESCRIPTION Parse::IASLog provides a convenient way of parsing lines of text that are formatted in Microsoft Internet Authentication Service (IAS) log format, where attributes are logged as attribute-value pairs. The parser takes lines of IAS-formatted text and returns on successful parsing a hashref record containing the applicable RADIUS attributes and values. The module provides a perl implementation of the Iasparse tool. FUNCTION INTERFACE Using the module automagically imports 'parse_ias' into your namespace. parse_ias Takes a string of IAS-formatted text. Returns a hashref on success or undef on failure. See below for the format of the hashref returned. OBJECT INTERFACE CONSTRUCTOR new Creates a new Parse::IASLog object. METHODS parse Takes a string of IAS-formatted text. Returns a hashref on success or undef on failure. The hashref will contain RADIUS attributes as keys. The following 'header' attributes should always be present: 'NAS-IP-Address', The IP address of the NAS sending the request; 'User-Name', The user name that is requesting access; 'Record-Date', The date that the log was written; 'Record-Time', The time that the log was written; 'Service-Name', The name of the service that is running in the RADIUS server; 'Computer-Name', The name of the RADIUS server; AUTHOR Chris "BinGOs" Williams SEE ALSO
