DESCRIPTION

       Analyzes Directory Server access log files for specific information defined on the command line.

              Enable verbose mode for detailed statistic processing.

       -s, --sizeLimit SIZE_LIMIT
              Number of results to return per category.
              DEFAULT: 20

       -d, --rootDN ROOT_DN

       -M, --reportFileMins MIN_STATS_FILENAME
              Capture operation stats at minute intervals and write to csv file.

       -j, --recommends
              Provide some preformance recommendations post analysis.

USAGE

       Examples:

              Analyze logs in verbose mode

              Specify a custom root DN
              logconv.py --rootDN "cn=custom manager" /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-host/access*

              Generate a report for anonymous binds
              logconv.py -B ANONYMOUS /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-host/access*

              Exclude specific IP address(s) from log analysis
              logconv.py -X 192.168.1.1 --exclude_ip 11.22.33.44 /var/log/dirsrv/slapd-host/access*

              Analyze logs within a specific time range
