9 usage: ratelimit.pl [options] <period> <regex> <logfile>
11 The aim of this script is to compute clients' peak sending rates
12 from an Exim log file, using the same formula as Exim's ratelimit
13 ACL condition. This is so that you can get an idea of a reasonable
14 limit setting before you deploy the restrictions.
18 -d Show debugging information to stderr
19 -p Show progress of parse the log to stderr
21 <period> The smoothing period in seconds, as defined by the
22 documentation for the ratelimit ACL condition.
24 This script isn't perfectly accurate, because the time
25 stamps in Exim's log files are only accurate to a second
26 whereas internally Exim computes sender rates to the
27 accuracy of your computer's clock (typically 10ms).
29 <regex> The second argument is a regular expression.
31 Each line is matched against the regular expression.
32 Lines that do not match are ignored. The regex may
33 contain 0, 1, or 2 () capturing sub-expressions.
35 If there are no () sub-expressions, then every line that
36 matches is used to compute a single rate. Its maximum
37 value is reported when the script finishes.
39 If there is one () sub-expression, then the text matched
40 by the sub-expression is used to identify a rate lookup
41 key, similar to the lookup key used by the ratelimit
42 ACL condition. For example, you might write a regex
43 to match the client IP address, or the authenticated
44 username. Separate rates are computed for each different
45 client and the maximum rate for each client is reported
46 when the script finishes.
48 If there are two () sub-expressions, then the text matched
49 by the first sub-expression is used to identify a rate
50 lookup key as above, and the second is used to match the
51 message size recorded in the log line, e.g. "S=(\\d+)".
52 In this case the byte rate is computed instead of the
53 message rate, similar to the per_byte option of the
54 ratelimit ACL condition.
56 <logfile> The log files to be processed can be specified on the
57 command line after the other arguments; if no filenames
58 are specified the script will read from stdin.
