Don't know if this is an issue with Reportmagic, so I'll start here.
I'm generating usage reports from IIS5 logs, usually specifying a from/to
pair of a couple of months during the year.
When the report is output by reportmagic, the first thing I notice is that
the year-level activity graph shows each month of the year being involved in
the stats.
I can only figure that its reading the date somehow transposed?
Your diagnosis is probably correct. It's easiest just to explain what's
going on.
IIS logs are stupid because they put the date in local date format -- e.g.
2/3/2006 in Europe and 3/2/2006 in the U.S. -- with no indication which was
used.
Now if the logfile starts on or after the 13th of the month, analog can tell
which format was used, and does the right thing. But if it starts on or
before the 12th of the month, analog can't know, and so gives up. In this
case, you have to specify LOGFORMAT MICROSOFT-NA (for North American dates)
or LOGFORMAT MICROSOFT-INT (for international dates). My guess is that you
specified -NA but wanted -INT.
