Processing Apache Log Files with "Analog"
This section provides a tutorial example on how to process Apache log files with 'Analog'.
1. Downloading my log files to run with "analog".
>cd \local\logs >ftp mydomain.com (download access.log.44.gz) >\local\winrar x access.log.44.gz *.* . >edit c:\local\analog\analog.cfg LOGFILE c:\local\logs\access.log.* >\local\analog\analog analog: analog version 6.0/Win32 analog: Warning E: Redirecting future diagnostic messages to errors.txt (For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html) >type \local\analog\errors.txt analog: Warning F: Can't auto-detect format of logfile access.log.44: ignoring it ...
So "analog" with default settings can not read my log file format. Note that "winrar" is a shareware uncompress .gz files.
2. Configuring "analog" for my log format:
>cd \local\logs >type access.log.44 | more 192.168.72.177 - - [22/Dec/2002:23:32:14 -0400] "GET /news/sports.html HTTP/1.1" 200 3500 www.yahoo.com "http://www.some.com/" "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE ...)" "-" ... >edit c:\local\analog\analog.cfg LOGFORMAT (%s - - [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%t -%j] "%j %r %j" %c %b %v "%f" "%B" "%j") >\local\analog\analog (no errors)
Here I used the following formatting codes for the LOGFORMAT setting:
%s - Numerical IP address of client %d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%t - Date and time fields %j - Junk field. Skip it. %r - File requested %c - HTTP response status code %b - Number of bytes transferred %v - Virtual host, the server hostname %f - Referrer URL %B - Browser information
3. Adding referrer report:
>edit c:\local\analog\analog.cfg REFERRER ON REFFLOOR 0r >\local\analog\analog (no errors)
The above settings tell "analog" to generate a referrer section in the report. I have also lowered the lower limit (floor) to show referrers with lower request counts.
