NAME
slowedit add - add an event to the database

SYNOPSIS


slowlist switches add IP_number event,event,event...

DESCRIPTION
slowedit add adds an event or events to the database using today's date and time. If the IP number has not yet been recorded in the database, it is added, otherwise its records are updated. The IP number must be specified as a dotted quad (like ``192.168.1.2''). IPv6 addresses are not supported yet. The record update is as-of this current date/time. There is no way to specify an arbitray time in the future or past.

The events are selected from a standard event set, where an arbitrary number of events may be combined in a single record by listing them separated by commas. For example:


slowedit add 1.2.3.4 er=5,env,hon,msgid="<foo@bar.com>"

Any events that are omitted default to 0 for values, FALSE for booleans, and empty for the Message-Id: header.

On success, slowedit add prints a message like the following, where user is your login name:


slowedit: add 1.2.3.4 by user succeeded

If DoLog is defined in the configuration file, success is also logged and would look like something like the following:


Dec  3 10:12:58 yourhost slowedit: [ID 107833 mail.info] user added: 1.2.3.4: 12/03/2003.10:12:58 er=5,hr=0,ho=0,br=0,hon,env,msgid=<foo@bar.com>

Otherwise an appropriate error is printed and logged.
