    <p>My server is having unusually high CPU usage, and I can see Apache is using way too much memory. I have a feeling, I'm being DOS'd by a single IP - maybe you can help me find him?</p> <p>I've used the following line, to find the 10 most "active" IPs:</p> <pre><code>cat access.log | awk '{print $1}' |sort |uniq -c |sort -n |tail </code></pre> <p>The top 5 IPs have about 200 times as many requests to the server, as the "average" user. However, I can't find out if these 5 are just very frequent visitors, or they are attacking the servers.</p> <p>Is there are way, to specify the above search to a time interval, eg. the last two hours OR between 10-12 today?</p> <p>Cheers!</p> <p><strong>UPDATED 23 OCT 2011 - The commands I needed:</strong></p> <p>Get entries within last X hours [Here two hours]</p> <pre><code>awk -vDate=`date -d'now-2 hours' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` ' { if ($4 &gt; Date) print Date FS $4}' access.log </code></pre> <p>Get most active IPs within the last X hours [Here two hours]</p> <pre><code>awk -vDate=`date -d'now-2 hours' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` ' { if ($4 &gt; Date) print $1}' access.log | sort |uniq -c |sort -n | tail </code></pre> <p>Get entries within relative timespan</p> <pre><code>awk -vDate=`date -d'now-4 hours' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` -vDate2=`date -d'now-2 hours' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` ' { if ($4 &gt; Date &amp;&amp; $4 &lt; Date2) print Date FS Date2 FS $4}' access.log </code></pre> <p>Get entries within absolute timespan</p> <pre><code>awk -vDate=`date -d '13:20' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` -vDate2=`date -d'13:30' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` ' { if ($4 &gt; Date &amp;&amp; $4 &lt; Date2) print $0}' access.log </code></pre> <p>Get most active IPs within absolute timespan</p> <pre><code>awk -vDate=`date -d '13:20' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` -vDate2=`date -d'13:30' +[%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S` ' { if ($4 &gt; Date &amp;&amp; $4 &lt; Date2) print $1}' access.log | sort |uniq -c |sort -n | tail </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
