Joshua,
Thanks.
You understand my example correctly.
I am able to get this desired output from the weblog stats program,
but since weblog is not supported by my server, and analog is, I
would prefer to obtain it, or an acceptable equivalent, on analog.
If, as you state, and the docs and FAQ's seem to indicate, the output
I desire cannot be processed by the existing analog code, my request
then becomes one to the author to consider writing some additional
code to accomplish this - thus enlarging the capabilities of analog.
While the requested output is not of much interest to commercial
websites seeking to correlate sales with hits, it is very important
to instructional/inspirational websites such as ours, which, for the
continuing perfection of home page arrangement and file title
selection, wish to examine qualitatively the e-trails by which hosts
move, or don't move, sequentially from requested file to requested
file.
An acceptable equivalent analog output for these purposes - as the
host files do not have to be alphanumerically sorted for this
analysis, but could sequential - would be a sequential listing of
hosts with added columns for
date:time:request
and everything else from the raw log non-selected
In this, the equivalent for the sample above would be outputted as:
165.107.135.181 26/May/1999:18:38:35 /CMG-LC-1.gif
165.107.135.181 26/May/1999:18:38:35 /CMG-LC-2.gif
165.107.135.181 26/May/1999:18:38:35 /JS-PCMG-MG.html
165.107.135.181 26/May/1999:18:38:36 /CMG-LC-3.gif
which would still give the desired sequential "e-trail" of each
host's requests, albeit with repetition of the host URL.
Due to the numbers of requests, such analysis would only be made by
us on occasion and for a brief time interval - viz. of one day for
our small, 500 host accesses a day, volume.
