cidr-grep

A grep-like tool used to filter IP addresses against one or more CIDR network patterns.

I wanted a tool which I can use both as a CLI tool and a Node.js transform stream. So I've built cidr-grep, for easily doing things like that:

$ cat access.log | cidrgrep -n 192.168.1.0/27

or

$ tail -f access.log | cidrgrep -n 192.168.1.0/27

Where access.log can be, for example, an Apache, Nginx or Squid server access log.

Install

With npm:

npm install cidr-grep

If you want to use it as a CLI tool, install globally with:

npm install cidr-grep -g

Usage as a CLI tool

You can do that in two ways:

 
# Using it directly 
 
$ cidrgrep -f ./fixtures/squid-access.log -f ./fixtures/apache-access.log -n 192.168.1.0/24 -n 192.168.10.0/24
 
# Using it with Unix pipe 
 
$ cat fixtures/apache-access.log | cidrgrep -n 192.168.1.0/27

Usage as a Node.js stream

/**
 * Module dependencies
 */
 
var CidrGrepStream = require('cidr-grep');
var fs = require('fs');
 
 
fs.createReadStream(__dirname + '/fixtures/apache-access.log')
  .pipe(CidrGrepStream({ networks: '192.168.1.1/24', appendEOL: true }))
  .pipe(process.stdout);

Documentation

var cidrGrepStream = CidrGrepStream( /* options */ );

Available options are:

• networks: String|Array. Required. A network pattern written using CIDR notation, e.g.: 192.168.1.0/24 or 10.10.0.0/16.

• appendEOL: Boolean. Append an os.EOL char after each stream chunks. It's used by default in CLI mode.
