Analog doesn't do anything to your logfiles - it just reads them and reports on them and leaves them exactly where it found them. It might be configured to only generate a report on the last 12 months (with a FROM command in the analog.cfg), but if you've still got the log files, there's nothing stopping Analog from reporting on whatever period you have logfiles for. If the logfiles themselves are gone, that has nothing to do with Analog - some other housekeeping script on your system is getting rid of them. If what you are saying is that right now you're getting a report of traffic from January 1st 2005 upto today, but that on January 1st 2006, you'll get a report of just 1 days worth of traffic, then it may be that the LOGFILE command, or the script calling Analog, is using a wildcard with %Y as part of the name - that would mean that only logfiles from the current year will be included in the report).
