It's not at all flexible about logformats - it only accepts default Apache logs. It is capable of doing some interesting things with "streamed" logs, so it can be configured to create "live" stats by tailing a log file. It also creates what it calls a "trails" report. This basically tells you what pages were reached from a google search (only www.google.com), a external link, or any internal link For example, this sample logfile 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample1.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://google.com/search?q=abcd"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample2.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://example.com/sample1.html"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample3.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://example.com/sample2.html"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample4.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://example.com/sample3.html"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample2.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://example.com/sample4.html"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.5 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample1.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://www.google.com/search?q=lmno"; "Mozilla/4.0" 1.2.3.4 - - [04/Apr/2000:10:11:12 +0000] "GET /sample3.html HTTP/1.0" 200 1010 "http://example.com/sample1.html"; "Mozilla/4.0" generates this "Web Trails" report: === Web trails === --- Referer -> Target common moves * Total number of trails: 7 1) /sample3.html -> /sample4.html: 1 2) External Link -> /sample1.html: 1 3) Google -> /sample1.html: 1 4) /sample4.html -> /sample2.html: 1 5) /sample2.html -> /sample3.html: 1 6) /sample1.html -> /sample2.html: 1 7) /sample1.html -> /sample3.html: 1 It can also be used to generate the attached graph of "web trails". Visitors isn't nearly as flexible as Analog, but it does do some things that Analog doesn't. Aengus
