However, my Organisation Report is a bit messed up. First of all it
is not resolving IPs to host names, however that may be cause there
is no rDNS set up for the few users that have hit my site so far.
Analog doesn't do DNS lookups by default, because DNS lookups are much, much
slower than everyting else that Analog does.

I will wait and see. The more important problem is that when it shows
the IPs, it does not show the entire IP, rather it shows what seems
to be a random part of it.
The Organization report doesn't show IP addresses, it shows Organizations.
If you don't have DNS lookups enabled, then it has to use the basic IP
address to decide when requests from different IP addresses aer actually
from the same Organization. In simple terms, all addresses from the same
"Class" address are considered to be from a single Organization (eg 12.1.2.3
and 12.255.254.253 are in the same "Class A" address range, as all addresses
between 12.0.0.0 and 12.255.255.255 are assigned to AT&T, whereas 145.1.2.3
and 145.255.254.253 are "Class B" adresses, and belong to different
organizations).
("Address classes" aren't really used anymore, but provide an easy way to
explain the Organization report. Exceptions to the simple "Class model" are
noted in http://analog.cx/docs/domfile.html#orgrules )
For instance, and IP of 24.156.28.245 may be shown as 24.156 and
that's it! Or as 156.28 or 28.245... In ether case, it is showing
only a small bit of the address.
Because requests from 24.156.28.245 and 24.156.28.246 are both from the same
"Organization", they are both listed under 24.156 Organization.
I am currently using Win2k3 Server, with IIS6 and my IIS is
configured to use the "W3C EXTENDED LOG FILE FORMAT". I have a few
other options for log formats in IIS - I was going to try the
"Microsoft IIS...", but the first choice was the default, so I have
not changed it yet...
W3C Extended is the best format choice.
Please advice on how I can get Analog to show full IPs in the report.
Full IPs belong to Hosts, not Organizations, so turn on the Host Report,
with
HOST ON
