Analog analyses log files, so it's not really effective for "what's happening right this second" use. > How long they've listened for? Probably not. If each stream has a "sessionID" then you could generate a log showing when each sessionID started and when it ended, but there isn't an option to show the difference between these two times. (Web servers are stateless, streaming media servers aren't, so web-server log analysis tools don't typically measure some of the things that make sense for a streaming media server). > Give reports of these every 30 minutes? Or maybe once per day but > break the report into 30 minute intervals? You can generate a report showing how many requests occurred during each 5, 15 or 60 minute period, or how many streams. (depending on what your server logs, a single stream may generate multiple requests). > Can it track file (podcast) downloads and only count the requests that > were at least 60% completely downloaded? No, unless that information is explicitly in the logfile. How would Analog know that any given request was 60% downloaded? > Any and all information about these questions will be extremely > helpful, so I thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Analog is a pretty flexible tool, but you need to have a pretty detailed understanding of what your server is logging before you can figure out whether you can make Analog extract useful information from that data. It's not going to work "out of the box" for analysing logs that are fundamentally different than web server logs. While the logfiles may look similiar, the difference between stateful and stateless connections makes the job less than straightforward.
