The Analog sample logfile has 2 failed requests and 46 successful requests. The Status Code report (which is on by default) shows that the 2 failures were 404 (Document not found) errors. The Failure Report (off by default - turn it on with FAILURE ON) shows the 2 documents that were requested that didn't exist on the server (/failed.html and /notfound.html). >> Can you expand upon the reasons for failed requests (analog info >> doesn't say a lot on this topic). The Status Code Report and the Failure Report should provide enough information to understand what's going on. Note that Intranet logs will often have a slightly higher failure rate, because user authentication is often turned on. The first request from a user won't include authentication information, and will generate a 401 Authentication required status code. If you have an Intranet Search Engine, it may generate hundreds of such errors, one for every document it requests. If this is hapenning in your case, you might want to consider adding STATUSEXCLUDE 401 to ignore these requests. (Thought your IT security guy might have a fit, even though he probably wasn't looking at the 401 records anyway!)
