Hi,
My answer wasn't to do with the form interface, I gathered that Carter was
editing the analog.cfg (i.e. putting in his logformat). Personally I can't
get Analog's form interface working under NT, and in the end just edited the
config file and run it via an NT 'at' command (calling a .cmd batch file
which runs analog as if you were running it on the command line.) The stuff
I wrote in reply was all in the IIS web site settings.
Basically, if you edit the analog.cfg file and get the path names right - to
where the logs are and where the output file should be stored (both should
be absolute for the machine) you can then just go to the command line and
type 'analog' and it will run, reading the logs and outputting the HTML file
where you told it to.
As an example, here's a bit of our analog.cfg:
# If you need a LOGFORMAT command it must go here
LOGFILE d:\websitelogs\eurolinkglobal.com\w3svc\*.log
OUTFILE d:\websites\eurolinkglobal.com\logs\log.html
HOSTNAME "EurolinkGlobal.com"
So I set up where the logfiles are written by IIS using the properties of
the website (see my reply to Carter). I then use LOGFILE to tell Analog the
absolute path of where the logs are, and what to read ('*.log'). Then it
outputs an HTML file called 'log.html' in to a directory which happens to be
part of the website.
Once you have it running OK on the command line you can schedule when it
will run (we do ours at about 2am) using the 'at' command, but I'm not very
up on that as one of the other staff here set that up.
I've only dabbled with IIS 5 on my workstation at the moment and haven't set
up logging, but it seemed pretty close to NT4 when I was having a quick
look, so my help to Carter should guide you through making sure IIS is
writing the right stuff to the logs for Analog to read.
Hope this helps
Paul.

Subject: [analog-help] Starting Analog with IIS 5
Hi
I have recently requested help in setting up Analog to recognise data from
MS IIS 5.0 version 1.
I did see a reply to Carter Harris from Paul Silver that seemed close to
answering my problem, however, I think this was based on using Analog's
"Form interface".
The documentation for "Form interface" makes it clear that it is for experts
only, which I am not.
Is there a way I can set up Analog 4.13 to run data from IIS 5.0 without
using the Form interface.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Robbie
