First, let me say that this program is amazing. Thank you Stephen and anybody else responsible for Analog. I have used Analog for a couple years on my own small domain. When my company recently went live with our new content site, and they were all going gaa-gaa over that "other" log analyzer, the first thing out of my mouth was "Why not Analog?" Nobody had heard of it, but I had it up and running in a matter of minutes.
The new site is generating about 250MB (uncompressed) of logs a day. My platform is Windows NT 4.0, 512MB RAM, 500Mhz P-II. I am using a batch file to grab the logs from the web server, rename them with a date stamp, and gzip them. I then use quickDNS to process the DNS entries in the logs. Analog then does it's thing and outputs to a file that ReportMagic then uses to generate the html files. Analog is amazingly fast in my application. I am processing over 12,000,000 lines in about 20-25 minutes. This includes download, compression, DNS resolution, d-compression for analog processing, and reportmagic. The PC I am using originally had 128MB of RAM. Analog stopped working in about 3 days with only that much RAM. Now I am 11 days later and I am bumping up against the top limits of the 512MB. Is there a point at which I am simply not going to be able to process the logs any further? Or does Analog reach some point of critical mass where it will stop using RAM for processing? I think this particular PC will go as high at 768MB, and since RAM is cheap I just may do that anyway. But after collecting data for a couple more months, am I going to right back where I started from? I have already implemented LOMEM in the config. Thanks for your reply in advance. +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
