I was almost sure that any command-line options or alternate configuration file (i.e. `analog +g/tmp/myconfig.txt`) would override the global (non-mandatory) "analog.cfg". I based that on the fact that the global analog.cfg contains HOSTNAME "[my organisation]" but if I put HOSTNAME "David's Stuff" in /tmp/myconfig.txt, then run `analog +g/tmp/myconfig.txt`, the final output uses "David's Stuff" as its hostname. But today I was trying to get the UNCOMPRESS feature to work, by putting UNCOMPRESS *.gz "/usr/gnubin/gunzip -c" in /tmp/myconfig.txt, then running `analog +g/tmp/myconfig.txt` as usual. After a long time of trying to figure out why that wasn't working, I finally added DEBUG FS to my config file, and got the following output... ... F: Opening /http/suitespot/https-docs/logs/access.17Jul-03AM.gz as logfile F: Using gzip -cd to uncompress it sh: gzip: not found. F: Closing logfile /http/suitespot/https-docs/logs/access.17Jul-03AM.gz ... /u/u816756/bin/analog: Warning F: Problems uncompressing logfile I noticed then that the global analog.cfg was telling analog to run `gzip -cd` - easy enough to change. But again, I thought that /tmp/myconfig.txt would override the global analog.cfg. So I ran `analog -settings +g/tmp/analog.31232` ... Compile-time variables: Default configuration file: /u/u816756/analog/analog.cfg Mandatory configuration file: none ... Uncompressing files as follows: *.gz by gzip -cd *.Z by gzip -cd *.gz by /usr/gnubin/gunzip -c ... and yet it was 'gzip -cd' that took precedence when I tried to analyze gzip'ed logfiles. Again, it was easy enough for me to change analog.cfg , but is this the way analog is *supposed* to behave? Thanks. --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.
