Aengus was referring to the event log (event viewer) in windows, not for Analog. Analog can write an error log with ERRFILE command, the location of which would be defined in your config file.
Most Analog users run it from the command-line, not the web. Especially when processing large amounts of data. The log file data is static, so once run you can save the report and view it as much as needed without having to re-process. The form interface for analog is really mostly useful to help guide analysis when you want to make changes and drill into different reports. Running a gig of logs through analog from the web will probably take some time. If you are the only one doing this (or it's a small group) then you can be aware of the potential delay and configure your server to allow a longer timeout for scripts/cgi. You'll need to look-up how to do that, I don't know off-hand. -- Jeremy Wadsack Seven Simple Machines > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:analog-help- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R C > Sent: Thursday, July 20, 2006 1:23 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [analog-help] Analog not working with webpage > > I can't find the analog event/error log, where is it located? > As I'm looking at the logfiles of the server, it seems there are 4-5 > logfiles for each month. > Each log is anywhere from about 90-250MB. > In my request on the web form, I am asking for stats for an entire month > (June 2006) - which would equal to about a gig of log files that it would > have to go through. > Could that be the problem?
