That is exactly what we were wanting to do but could not make it work reliably. I imagine it would depend on a few variables, how many sites involved, how big the log files, what technique the stats server uses to read the files, etc. In our case it was many log files, some of them 100s of Megs in a day, and the permanently open connections bogged the network down. We use DeepMetrix's LiveStats ISP version which has an amazingly good engine to read the log files and we found that we could not get close to its native performance with it reading the logs remotely. We did some peeking and found that it was doing "Tail" type reads of the log files, maybe a Meg every 5 minutes on the high traffic sites it was very efficient, just a blink and it was done. LiveStats was an excellent product, well designed and did its job perfectly until they "improved" it and it went backwards and then Microsoft bought the firm and that was that :-( -- Yours, Kym Kovan mbcomms.net.au --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "cfaussie" group.
