A small collection of utilities (and in some cases, scripts) useful in the adminstration of a WASD site.
Some are covered in greater detail in Features and Facilities document, Utilities and Facilities section.
Name | Source Code | Comment |
---|---|---|
Calogs | calogs.c | Consolidate access logs (pronounced the same as the breakfast cereal brand :-) merges multiple HTTP server common and combined format access logs into a single log file with records in time-order. |
CSPreport | cspreport.c |
Content Security Policy Report[er]
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CSP |
GeoLocate | geolocate.c |
Provides a command-line utility to create symbols containing geolocation data
for a supplied IP address.
Also, an object module linkable by other utilities looking for geolocation (see HTTPDMON.C and QDLOGSTATS.C) |
geolocate.com | Example script /cgi-bin/geolocate | |
HTAdmin | htadmin.c | Command-line administration of the WASD .$HTA authentication databases. |
HTTPdMon | httpdmon.c |
One of the fundamental tools for monitoring the status of the WASD server.
This command-line utility continuously displays a number of key server process
quotas, server counters and latest request data.
Also see sHTTPDmon in WASD_ROOT:[SRC.SCREPER] Another variation on the theme provides geolocation: $ @BUILD_HTTPMON_GEOLOCATION LINK $ MCR WASD_EXE:HTTPDMON |
Proxy Munge** | proxymunge.c |
Script that munges (rewrites) URIs/URLs to provide a more effective
reverse-proxy. **Also check out the WASD v12.0.0 proxy=rework=.. capability. |
Quick and Dirty Log Statistics |
qdlogstats.c |
Useful command-line and script utility to generate quick snapshots and
elementary statistics of server usage from access logs. Intended for those
moments when we think "I wonder how many times that new archive has been
downloaded?", "How much data was transfered during November?",
"How often is such-and-such a client using the authenticated so-and-so
service?", "How much has the mail service been used?" ... and
want the results in a matter of seconds (or at least a few tens of seconds
:-)
Another variation on the theme provides geolocation: $ @BUILD_QDLOGSTATS_GEOLOCATION LINK $ COPY WASD_EXE:QDLOGSTATS.EXE CGI_EXE: $! assuming the non-geolocation utility was already in use $ INSTALL REPLACE CGI-BIN:[000000]QDLOGSTATS |
Random Seed | randseed.c | Small utility designed to populate a file with 2048 bytes of PRNG seed data. The seed should be high entropy. |
Security .ch Army Knife | sechan.c | (Pronounced "session") is used by SECURE.COM and associated procedures to ensure package file system security settings are appropriate. It is also available for direct use by the site administrator. |
WAStee | wastee.c | WAStee is a utility to generate time-stamped log files containing intervals of a long-lived WASD server process. It is the tee in a PIPE sequence. |
Wot's Up? | wotsup.c | The WASD Over-The-Shoulder Uptime Picket is designed to monitor WASD in a production environment for the purpose of alerting operations staff to conditions which might cause that production to be adversely impacted. The utility runs in a detached process and monitors the server environment by periodically polling various server data. Alert reports can be delivered via any combination of OPCOM message, MAIL, site-specific DCL command, and log file entry. |
