(Sorry about the previous empty response -- sticky fingers!) You should start by just producing a report from your log files. Then you can work at fine-tuning it to get the results you want.
On Windows, it can be very helpful to add the ERRFILE command so you can see what error and warning messages Analog is producing. This will help you tune the file to get results. See http://analog.cx/docs/debug.html#ERRFILE If you are running Analog on Proxy logs you may have to write a custom LOGFORMAT line for it to parse the logs. See http://analog.cs/docs/logfmt.html. You haven't define what distinguishes the connections to the databases. Those are probably some kind of request detail. Once you have all the setup working, the Request Report will show you how many requests were made to each requested file. You can use the FILEINCLUDE command to filter the report to only include the requests you want to monitor. See http://analog.cs/docs/include.html. If you want to know the number of unique hosts that requested each file, then you'll have to run a separate report for each file using just that FILEEXCLUDE statement and then collect the results yourself (or with a Perl script or something). See http://analog.cx/docs/faq.html#faq128. If you want to know how many distinct users (rather than distinct hosts) visited, you can't accurately count that without a state system (which HTTP does not provide).
