I've just had the Analog report from my server. The server is my
own machine with Apache 2 and Analog 5.32/Unix running locally,
the report is mailed to me.

Using "grep" and the name of an image which only exists on my
index.html page I've stripped /var/log/httpd/log-file down to
just the hits on index.html for the one day (Jan 1st) and have
5 line (5 hits).

Yet, my Analog Report General Summary is:-

Successful requests: 236
Average successful requests per day: 425
Successful requests for pages: 18
Average successful requests for pages per day: 30
Failed requests: 1
Distinct files requested: 106
Distinct hosts served: 5
Data transferred: 6.13 megabytes
Average data transferred per day: 11.09 megabytes

What am I missing here, what is making the report so different?

Um, because that's an Analog report for more than just your 5 line
index.html logfile?

You haven't really explained what you are trying to do, and what you think
is going on. Did you get that Analog General Summary from what you thought
was a 5 line log file? If so, you should try running Analog with SETTINGS ON
to see what other logfile it is reading.

Sorry, didn't make myself too clear. The original log-file generated by Apache was much more than five lines, it contains one line for every item on each page visited (images etc.) My Analog Report was generated from this original file (which is the Summary you see above). I then decided to use the 'grep' command to strip down the file to how many times
my index.html page had been viewed in the last day, the result was 5.

grep "banner.gif" log-file > new-log-file (I know Banner.gif is only on my index.html)

I haven't run Analog against this stripped-down log file.

Since my original post I've been reading the configuration pages at www.analog.cx and am getting the impression that Analog will not do quite what I'm asking, how many people have visited my site. Am I right in thinking that what I've done this evening (stripped down the log file to show only hits on index.html) and then running Analog against this truncated file will be the only way to find out the
number of visitors I've had?
