We use something called analog. I don't have access to the application right now but, basically, every week I tar the log files and mail them to the office then I use Analog to produce a report that we port over to a machine the customer can access. It has pretty pie charts and bars and tells all kinds of neato information.

Yep, that's what I was looking for. So, Perl it is. Thanks, Jerry Johnson >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 03/13/02 06:23PM >>> There was a presentation by Timothy Nettleton [EMAIL PROTECTED] from HostCentric at the last Devcon who had written a very cool custom CF log file analysis program called Cosmos. I think he also wrote an article about it in one recent dev journals. I'm not sure if it's available, but it never hurts to ask. Here is a link to a powerpoint presentation about it. http://www.cfapostle.com/COSMOS/COSMOS-Public_files/frame.htm jon ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jerry Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 5:33 PM Subject: Re: Reading CF logs. > Well, I need to allow (am trying to force) other people to monitor the web logs. > > But I don't want them anywhere near the actual files.
