This python script is creating a fake access log file with accesses in the past. This is useful, if you need an example access log for scientific research.
Run
./alg.py
Thiss will output a new access_log.log file in the workspace.
You can run the script with preceeding environment variables like:
MIN_MOD_LINEAR='+3600' MAX_MOD_LINEAR='+3600' ./alg.py
Following variables are available
| variable | default | description |
|---|---|---|
| FIRST_ACCESS | 1462060800 (Sun, 01 May 2016 00:00:00 GMT) | The seconds since epoch of the first access. |
| LAST_ACCESS | 1477958399 (Mon, 31 Oct 2016 23:59:59 GMT) | The seconds since of the last access. |
| MIN_SHIFT | 10 | The initial minimum distance between two acesses. |
| MAX_SHIFT | 86400 (1 day) | The initial maximum distance between two accesses. |
| MIN_MOD_LINEAR | '+0' | The seconds added (+) or removed (-) to/from MIN_SHIFT after every access. |
| MAX_MOD_LINEAR | '+0' | The seconds added (+) or removed (-) to/from MAX_SHIFT after every access. |
| MIN_MOD_FACTOR | 1 | The factor MIN_SHIFT is modified after every access. |
| MAX_MOD_FACTOR | 1 | The factor Max_SHIFT is modified after every access. |
