Hi folks:

I could use some help figuring out the correct syntax for a new
LogFormat line in my analog.cfg file after changing the LogFormat
settings for Apache a few weeks ago.

In my httpd.conf I have the following line:

LogFormat %h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\
\%{User-Agent}i\ combined



Have you tried just using your Apache command directly?

APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\
\%{User-Agent}i\)

Hi Aengus:

I tried APACHELOGFORMAT in my analog.cfg without success (still
corrupt logfile lines).

My Apache access_log looks like this:

1.2.3.4 - - [02/Oct/2008:09:31:33 -0600] GET /images/black.gif
HTTP/1.1 200 43 http://www.unm.edu/; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;

My mistake - I forgot to strip the double-quotes from the start and  
end of your line from the Apache entry.


APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\  
\%{User-Agent}i\)


This works for the sample lines that you posted.

I have to admit that the analog configuration is getting quite  
confusing to me. Unfortunately the APACHELOGFORMAT line doesn't solve  
my problem, so please allow me to provide you with a little more  
information regarding the purpose of the updated analog.cfg, as well  
as what I'm doing before the problem occurs.


1. Copy the previous month Apache log to a temporary location
2. Run a script to extract page visitor data from the general Apache  
log file and store it in a separate file
3. Run a bash 'for i' loop on the new log files and store the data in  
page visitor sub directores


Unfortunately I decided that Apache has to write more information to  
its access_log log file, which is finally the reason why there is  
issues with analog now. According to the analog documentation there is  
a way to set up a hierarchy so that it will understand a log file  
syntax even if it changes from old to new over time, but I haven't  
been able to figure out how to make it work.


The question is how do I let analog know that the log file syntax for  
the reports has changed over time. If it's not possible, I can  
probably incorporate an if statement in the scripts that checks for  
the date the change occurs and feeds analog a new configuration file  
that will work, but I would love to avoid that.


My old Apache log file lines look like this:

1.2.3.4 - - [19/Jun/2008:23:36:03 +] GET /images/black.gif

I just checked the documentation, and the correct directive is 
APACHEDEFAULTLOGFORMAT, rather than DEFAULTAPACHELOGFORMAT.

APACHELOGFORMAT is meant to be a convenience for those who have Apache 
configured with custom logformats - instead of translating the Apache 
configuration into Analog syntax, Analog will do it for you (most of the time - 
some complex Apache statements won't translate). It's probably worth taking a 
few minutes to look at the LOGFORMAT documentation to see how the LOGFORMAT is 
created - it's a fairly straightforward substitution of letter codes for fields 
(%S for IP address, %b for bytes, %B for Browser, %c for status code, etc), so 

1.2.3.4 - - [17/Sep/2008:13:12:52 -0600] GET /images/sandiamountains.jpg 
HTTP/1.1 200 61671 http://ladb.unm.edu/; Mozilla/5.0 ...

1.2.3.4 is %S.

GET /images/sandiamountains.jpg HTTP/1.1  is  %j %r %j
(I don't care about the GET or the HTTP/1.1, so they are coded as %j for junk).

The timestamp has a day (%d), Month, (%M), 4-digit Year (%Y), hour (%h), 
minutes (%n) and more junk (seconds and GMT offset), so 
[17/Sep/2008:13:12:52 -0600]  is coded as  [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j]

Note that case and spacing is important.

Put it all together, and you end up with a LOGFORMAT like this:

%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j %r %j %c %b %f %B

Your existing .cfg file uses analog syntax, not Apache syntax, so when you 
added two extra fields to your logfile (referrer and User Agent), so you could 
have just copied the existing entries and add %f %b to the end (though 
there's a lot of redundancy in your existing setup - you really only need the 
first 1 of the 4 DEFAULTLOGFORMAT lines).

Or you could copy the modified logformat command from your http.conf file and 
add it to the analog.cfg file with 

APACHEDEFAULTLOGFORMAT (%h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\ 
\%{User-Agent}i\)


Based on what you've posted, you only need 


# If you need a LOGFORMAT command (most people don't -- try it without  
first!),
# it must go here, above the LOGFILE commands.

DEFAULTLOGFORMAT (%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j %r %j %c %b)
DEFAULTLOGFORMAT (%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] %j %r %j %c %b %f %B)
DEBUG ON

You should be able to delete the other 12 lines from your .cfg file, as they 
don't appear to be doing anything useful (I'd be particularly concerned about 
that LOGFILE line - are you counting access_log.-??.gz and log--??.gz?

There's no point in having DEFAULTLOGFORMATs and LOGFORMATs. Well,
unless you have some logfiles on the command line and some in the
config file. DEFAULTLOGFORMAT is what it uses if there is no
LOGFORMAT.

 Hi folks:
 
 I could use some help figuring out the correct syntax for a new
 LogFormat line in my analog.cfg file after changing the LogFormat
 settings for Apache a few weeks ago.
 
 In my httpd.conf I have the following line:
 
 LogFormat %h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\
 \%{User-Agent}i\ combined
 
 
 Have you tried just using your Apache command directly?
 
 APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\
 \%{User-Agent}i\)

 Hi Aengus:
 
 I tried APACHELOGFORMAT in my analog.cfg without success (still
 corrupt logfile lines).
 
 My Apache access_log looks like this:
 
 1.2.3.4 - - [02/Oct/2008:09:31:33 -0600] GET /images/black.gif
 HTTP/1.1 200 43 http://www.unm.edu/; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
 Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3
 1.2.3.4 - - [02/Oct/2008:09:31:33 -0600] GET /images/white.gif
 HTTP/1.1 200 43 http://www.unm.edu/; Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U;
 Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.3) Gecko/2008092417 Firefox/3.0.3

My mistake - I forgot to strip the double-quotes from the start and end of your 
line from the Apache entry.

APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l \%u\ %t \%r\ %s %b \%{Referer}i\ 
\%{User-Agent}i\)

This works for the sample lines that you posted.
