Do you use it for billing stats? Should I?
Are you doing your counting from exactly the same log files as Analog? Analog probably isn't counting any bytes for log entries that have failure status codes. Try to enable the various failure reports, and see if they provide information about the "missing" bytes. If that doesn't do it, you might try taking a smaller log file, and see if you see a similar discrepancy, then split the log in two, and so on, to see if you can narrow it down to a handful of log entries that you can manually count, and decide which tool is more reliable.
