Analog has extremely flexible support for custom logformats. Afaik, Webstar logformats are supported out of the box. http://analog.cx/docs/logfmt.html > Every Apache server we have logs all hits to one log, which is rolled > nightly.

Analog just analyzes the logfiles, it doesn't do any logfile "management", so you'd have to handle that yourself. > I am dealing with 100's of GB's of log data, a entire year, so we > start small, and at the end of the year, there is a lot.

Analog supports incremental processing. http://analog.cx/docs/cache.html > At the end of the year, I was able to "render" out the logs to html > files, so my clients can have access to their past data, will analog > be able to perform something similar? All Analog reports are static HTML reports - it's not a database that renders reports on the fly (though it can be configured to handle on the fly queries). > Is there a way to get aggregate bandwidth on a per machine basis?

Yes. > Are DNS lookups cached? Yes. It is strongly recommended that you use a different tool to generate the DNS cache, though - Analog is not optimised for DNS lookups. http://analog.cx/docs/dns.html Aengus +------------------------------------------------------------------------ | TO UNSUBSCRIBE from this list: | http://lists.meer.net/mailman/listinfo/analog-help | | Analog Documentation: http://analog.cx/docs/Readme.html | List archives: http://www.analog.cx/docs/mailing.html#listarchives | Usenet version: news://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.web.analog.general +------------------------------------------------------------------------
