[Users] pike module usage

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Klaus,

first, the pike module will count the IP source only for the requests 
called with pike_check_req(). There is no multiple counters support - 
only one.

so, from script you can filter what requests you want to count. That's 
all you need to do in order to use it.

regarding the configuration, you have three parameters: sampling time 
unit (S), request density per unit (N) and removed latency (L). In 
words: the alarm will be trigger if you get more than N request per S 
seconds. The alarm will be removed if no other request is received in L 
seconds.

So, in your case, try:
    modparam("pike", "sampling_time_unit", 4)
    modparam("pike", "reqs_density_per_unit", 2)

and

    if (is_method("REGISTER") && !pike_check_req()) {
       log("...");
       exit;
    }

regards,
bogdan
