Our apache logs are huge and would not want to duplicate the size. Some statistics programs do use the log file plus there own which is equal in size to the original.

How does this program store its information, in a separate file?  Do we
need to keep the apache logs once it reads them?  Does it store
information in binary format?


By default, analog does not store any information between runs. It reads all the logfiles fresh every time.


When you want to delete a logfile, if you still want to be able to use its data, you can tell analog to save the information from that logfile into its own "cache file". It can then read the cache file instead of the logfile.

In either case, there is no duplication of information. The cache file is created only when you explicitly ask for it.
