I have to generate reports for multiple web sites. After considering writing my own scripts to run analog, I searched for other solutions and began using the "Analog Run" VBScript (http://christopherlewis.com/analog_run.vbs.htm) by Christopher Lewis.
Since I have multiple sites, I'm currently using two versions of the script for each site--one runs the daily report and creates a cachefile, the other uses the cachefile and creates the weekly, monthly, and YTD reports. I use analog.cfg for common settings and each site has a cfg file for the daily reports and a cfg file for the other reports. So I wind up with four "configuration/script" files for each site. Not so bad I thought, even though I would have preferred to have fewer . . . and then I realized that the reports generated using the cachefiles are not quite accurate, because when using cachefiles, Analog has no idea of what timeframe the cache files are for. So now I'm having to consider another set of cfg files and VBScript files for the weekly, monthly and YTD reports, and I'll have to figure a way to limit which cache files each of those needs to read . . . That's the point at which I wondered whether I might be reinventing the wheel! So, does anyone use Analog for multiple websites to generate similar reports? Do you have any advice, thoughts, comments, best practices, etc. that you could share? Btw, I need to use cache files because each of the sites has multiple servers and as the year progresses, the quantity and size of the (uncompressed) log files moves past the terabyte mark. I've tried pointing Analog at compressed files but it takes too long to even analyze a week! (Not analog so much as the uncompression!) Thanks!
