Think of it as the "slashdotted" report. When someone -- even a site not as big as Slashdot -- links to your site from the front page, there's often a burst of traffic. If that site is actually Slashdot, this will be obvious in your overall request/referral reports. But if it's something smaller, it might still not rank very high in the overall or even 7d reports -- lost in the noise. > d) This would be hard.

But it'd only need to save the cross-referenced stuff for one minute and then could throw it away if that minute weren't one of the n busiest. I guess the same argument could be made for files-per-referrer, etc., and you're not buying that. :) > c) Analog does tell you which is the busiest five minutes, at the bottom of > the Five Minute Report (for your favourite definition of "busiest"). Right, I know that -- but only the very busiest five. It'd be nice if it could tell the n busiest. "n" being some reasonable number. Also, this appears to be over the last exactly 24 hours, which I guess is okay but it'd be nicer to also have the information for 7 days and all time. If analog would do this, then I could take this suggestion: > Oh, you could do the following, if you don't want to parse logfiles > yourself.

That's probably the easiest way to do it. -- Matthew Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | This is the analog-help mailing list.
