Unfortunately you didn't provide the CustomeLog line to show which format is in
use. But you can us Analog's APACHELOGFORMAT command with any of the above. For
example, if the last format is being used, then you could say
APACHELOGFORMAT (%h %l %u %t "%r" %s %b %v "%{Referer}i" "%{User-agent}i"
"%{Cookie}n")

In the marketing world, 5% accuracy is considered the holy grail. 10% - 20% accuracy (if I understand what "5 or 10 times out" means) would be phenomenal. In marketing systems, data mining techniques are used to increase the essentially random 2% - 3% response to as good as 5%. If some data can be gleaned from logfiles that helps improve this result, why not use it? This isn't to say that Analog should be the product to do this. Analog's goal is website logfile analysis and reporting and it is (many time proven) the most accurate tool available for such. Too many hosting companies offer other products which claim to include specious data, such as Visitor tracking, without properly understanding or even educating their clients on the inaccuracy of such 'statistics'.

I find this a much more helpful response then the Random Number Generator (sorry, Aengus). In business and marketing, there are a plethora of quotients and ratios, such as ROI, used to make assessments of the quality of data, values, investment potential, response potential, etc. Rather than limiting ourselves to known quantities and basic derived values (like average pages per day), why not consider the value of some more advanced (yet less speculative) derived values that may provide insight to web site performance, especially, as Jason suggested, when compared to similar quantities in other time periods or on other sites. Last count, I think there were estimated to be on the order of 10,000 sites running Analog (and you want to talk about inaccurate numbers :). What if all these webmasters started looking at quantities such as "maximal page-ip ratio" (to coin a term :) and comparing them to other results. Say a webmaster runs a dozen sites. Certainly these numbers, at first, would mean nothing to her. But when she compares them to different sites and different periods, some meanings would eventually come out of some of the quantities. Analog may not be the "testing ground" to determine which quantities are helpful and which aren't, but it may provide a springboard to begin developing this kind of result. If we can provide marketing people with new "web quantities" rather than trying to fit stateless http data into marketing quantities, like "stickiness", "cum", and "score", we might actually develop results that are useful for everybody.

I don't think, as you say, it bears any relation to "visit" metrics. Rather, this is an example of a quantity that can be measuerd and may provide insight that wasn't there before. Perhaps, after experience and analysis of the metric, it will be determined to provide a good, fast metric for how balanced the load is on the site -- something entirely different than "visit" data. > And I recognize that there can be value in such metrics.

Log files do contain very solid data. In fact, no matter how much you audit your books, it's likely that you web logs may be more accurate than your financials. This could be completely wrong too. One of the problems with web log data is precissely that no one ever does look at it. There could be glaring errors (how many of us have seen stats that start long before the server was set up or that contain requests dated in the future). My suggestions is merely, that if we use quantities that we can trust than we might be able to come up with "rule of thumb" metrics that provide insight faster and more accurately than data mining, or heuristic approximations.

Uh, Marc, your server is a cobalt linux system. Not a windows system. So you can't run a windows version of Analog on it. You will need to download the source and compile it on the linux box. It should be as easy as 'make' after editing anlghead.h (all described in the docs). qdns is also a windows program. Look to dnstran or other linux compiled programs.

Depending on the target of this report, this might be a problem (i.e. if this is meant to describe complete site-wide activity, then you need to change your exclusions).

Do you mean your number of unique files is 62 million? Or your number of page requests? I have produce reports with over 100 million requests on sufficient hardware (Solaris Enterprise Server).

Setting FILELOWMEM controls the number of unique requests (pages in your case) that are stored in memory at different phases of the processing. It has no effect on the number of requests for pages (since these are just aggregate values for each unique page). > our reqfloor is set at 5K (I tried 10 and 15K as well, with no > change in results). Setting the floor will also not change memory requirements. In order to get accurate counts, Analog must count every unique file requested. Only after all the totals have been collected for the entire month can it apply a floor and trim the reports. (Consider a marketing campaing that drive 5 thousand users to a normally low traffic page at the end of the month. If Analog had dumped the low traffic page earlier because it was less than the floor, it would show up with an incorrect count in the report, conceivably off by as much as 3000%). > I am running on Sun Ultra II, 512MB RAM, and nothing else > active at the time of analog running.

Setting the floor, as I said before, has very little effect on the memory usage. It only determines how big the report file will be (do you really want to look through all 100 thousand unique files that tallied over a thousand requests?). Can you up the server to 1GB? Unfortunately, if you've tried setting all *LOWMEM commands to '3' and still run out of memory, upgrading the server is probably your only option.

If you aren't using the (Authenticated) User Report or Virtual Host Report you can 'hijack' one of these to work on a different data quantity. You do this by configuring Apache to log the session cookie (part of the custom logging), and then, in an Analog custom log format use %u or %v to match the data. Using %u is better, because you can get a General Summary item that matches the total count (which is more interesting that each individual cookie, that you'll get in the report). You can then change you language files (or Report Magic language files, if you are running that) to reflect the change in the data, with a label like "Estimated Vists," "Estimated Sessions," "Number of Session Cookies Delivered," "Some Number Partway Between Total Requests and Unique Hosts," ... :) Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group This is the analog-help mailing list.

If you get 'http://' in your directory report, then you must have used the second parameter to the LOGFILE command for some of you logfiles or else your logfiles contain fully qualified requests (e.g. http://www.domain.it/index.html). In the first case, you need to make sure that all your LOGFILE command contain the second parameter, so Analog knows what server to assign to each set of requests. In the second case, that means you logformat changed. You can overcome this problem by assigning a url to the logfiles that don't have this in it using the second paramter to the LOGFILE command.

Yes, but as I think I also stated in that message, Analog may not be the tool to do
that. There is a difference between what you get from Analog (results) and what you
get from software that delivers these
data (vague estimates). The code has been written. It's available in commerical
packages, that, like Aengus said, "will tell you what you want to know".

The domain, host and organization report ("unresolved numerical address") are all
dependent on DNS lookups. This is different that the IP number or DNS name of the
server that sends the request. If
you are running a report across several sites, you can use the second parameter to the
LOGFILE command, as you described, to assign requests to given domains in the request
and directory reports.

Perhaps there are four times as many request for non-page items (graphics). Have you compared total Succesful Requests? If those are similar then look to Corrupt Log File Lines, Redirected Requests, Failed Requests, and Unwanted Logfile Lines for the balance of your logfile. It should all be in there somewhere. If you still don't see four times the requests, then perhaps each request line is four times as long. Did you change from common log format in June to Combined (or Combined + cookie or vhost) in August? That would easily tripple the size of your logfiles with the same number of requests.

Somewhere in your apache httpd.conf file should be a CustomLog line listing a format and a LogFormat line that defines it. If not then you don't have virtual host data logged in your logs and you might as well through them out (unless you just want aggregate numbers) and start over with a custom log format.

Well, I don't think that Analog is the place for documentation on Apache. It is
assumed that you (or someone involved in setting up web servers on your system) has
some
familiarity with Apache configuration and can handle this.
Also, the above (without typos) ships in almost every default Apache install, but may
not be the way a user want to configure apache.

This multi-variate reporting requires huge databases -- especially since you are choosing to cross-compare the hosts (likely the largest data table) with requests (likely the third largest). The memory requirements for this type of analysis would be exorbitant and would degrade the performance of Analog immensely and rapidly.

These may also not correspond to "trails" of traffic by your users. Any given host from AOL will be a set of lateral requests across many users (AOL's proxy server request all parts of a page at once and AOL users go to the lowest traffic proxy at each new request).

And the finally point (IMHO): Do you really look at the traffic patterns of 500 hosts every day? The point of Analog (and all other web log analyzers and similar statistics systems) is to provide summary information to help you understand large volumes of data. Sure it would be nice to be able to 'drill-down' to each host, but how often do you have time to do this and what does it gain you? Do you Actually look at the entire host report or only the top 50? For most of the report I configure, we don't even use the host report. We're not really interested in what the specific host IPs were, just aggregate summaries, like the domain and organization reports.

I stand corrected. I didn't see the %v (which of course was the whole point of the
thread). What I meant by typos, was:
LogFormat "%h %l %t \"%r\" %>s %b %v \"%{referer}i\" \"%{user-Agent}i\""

Will produce a logformat in "combined" format (assumably defined elsewhere in your

CustomLog logs/access_log combination

Both of these items can be gleaned from reading the examples/big.cfg file that ships

Such as a (well written) HOWTO? Man pages are generally designed to work as
references. The Analog docs are designed to be a guide (with reference ability through
the
index and report references). Perhaps a series of good HOWTOs would be helpful to the
Analog community. Does any one on the list have experience in technical writing and
want to donate their time?

As a developer who also writes his own documentation, I will say what all developers
say: No matter how good or bad I may be at documentation, writing user docs is not as
fun as writing code. So it becomes last priority. The open-source
community could be helped greatly by technical writers (there are people out there who
think
writing users docs is fun, right?) donated some of their time to the
projects.

I disagree (sorry, no offense Stephen, but I suppose that's why you're a post-doc in
statistics not technical writing). I think the organization of the docs is hard to
understand. On the other hand, I view the world in a different way that you, Chris or
Bob, (or Stephen or anyone else). That's why well documented products allow you to
learn in different ways. And well designed products don't require documentation (but
still provide it all). At least that's the goal. Most consumer products are like this
(your toaster came with a manual, but you never had to read it). Most consumer
products are exceedingly less complicated as well.

(I can't find it in the archives though, so you get it again :) Your logfiles can not record any information about requests to other sites. That would be in there logfiles. (See docs/webworks.html).

Sorry, I'm not denying that you've put a lot of work into it. I can see that. And it's always up to date, which is more than can be said for much of the free software out there.

Not that I > don't continue to strive to improve them. Here's my take on this: Sysadmins (either by necessity or by selection) are good at learning from references. Most other people learn well from tutorials and guides. Many people like examples to learn from. Some people still learn well by "playing" (most of us had this drilled out of us in grammar school :). Ideally documentation should be provided in all these methods. A comprehensive reference to all commands, arguments, etc. (that can be printed out, including defaults). A quick-start tutorial that walks a new user, step by step, through the process of getting the first report. A series of HOWTOs to provide topical guides for specific, common tasks (virtual hosts, scheduling and rotating, etc.). A collection of applicable and interesting examples. Descriptive messages and output to help users know what their changes are doing. Analog provides most of this (in fact, I can think of a certain other software package that could benefit from much of this :). I think that there's still (and always will be) room for improvement. Here are some examples from my own experience (this might not be representative of other users, so perhaps it's not worht listing, but just in case...): It took me several months to discover that there was a complete list of all commands in the index. The "Quick Reference" was added after I was already familiar with most of the commands. I never read "Analog's definitions." Rather I learned from responses of helpful users on this list. For some reason, it never ocurred to me to read the documentation "front-to-back". I always skipped around and read different pages, never used the "next" link on each page.

You only need to use %q if the query portion of the uri is stored in a separate field
from the
request. If it is included in the request portion, as your logformat has, then Analog
automatically analyses it.
If you aren't getting any arguments in your request report then you need to change your
ARGSINCLUDE or *ARGSFLOOR line. This should get them all:
ARGSINCLUDE *
REQARGSFLOOR 1r

Kevin, you're on the right track. The way to do this is to run weekly reports, using the directory report to get info for each client for that week's period. You can set SUBDIR levels if you need to drill futher than one level. If you employ cache files, you can create a cache file at the same time as you generate your weekly reports, then run a report on all the cache files each week (or day, month, etc.) to get a cumulative total. This is the only way Analog can produce this. This doesn't do "cross-reference" reports (FAQ item B18 in 4.10 or realier or B19 in 4.11). If you want to run them side-by-side you could probably produce OUTPUT COMPUTER reports in CSV and pump the results into a spreadsheet, pulling up running summaries, etc. This would take a little scripting and soem spreadsheet magic to work smoothly but shouldn't be that hard.

The problem with 'detecting' robots is that it's inaccurate. You'll only catch the well behaved and obvious ones. You could start with the list at the Web Robots Database, I'm sure it contains most of the ones you'll see.

I think there has been significant interest in this in the past, but every time someone looks into trying to do the project "completely" they suddenly realize it's an immense job.

Unless (a) you've changed the error message text in anlgform.pl or (b) you're server somehow intercepts 500 errors inserting its own text, this appears to be a problem with the server running the cgi script.

First, Analog won't do any DNS lookups when running in CGI mode. It will only read the already existing DNS records. Second, when run in CGI mode, it may be running in a different directory than from the command line. Try usig an absolute reference in your config file for defining the location of the dnsfile.txt.

Thank you, The "timeout" period is a length of inacitivity from a script that the server decides is a failure. In debug mode, the script is constantly generating debug notices while running, so it is continually producing output and the server doesn't have an inactivity period to timeout in.

I'm not sure that what you could do with webmin other than perhaps setting up an icon that starts the process running.

So I suppose you mean you ran an Analog report for each day of the month, then took the Successful Requests from each of those days' General Summaries and added them together to check for consistency. If you analyse the difference, it comes out to 47.95 "average hours" of loss. The fact that this is so close to 48 hours makes me think that you missed two days' reports when adding the numbers. Are you certain you got them all? The other thing to check is whether you are missing perhaps an hour per day. Does each daily report cover traffic from 00:00 to 23:59 (or 00:00 the following day)?

I wonder if this is a scaling issue. As no one has reported this kind of inconsistency before (AFAIK) it might be due to the huge volume of request that you're dealing with. It's possible that it's a rounding error, but I woudn't think that would be that big.

The difference is approximately 39 million requests. If you divide the total request (from the monthly report) by (30*24) (the number of hours in June) you get a value for the average number of requests per hour. If you divide the 39 million number by this average number it comes to 47.95. It just seemed like this was really close to two average days. But that could also be a coincidence.

You just need two LOGFILE commands: LOGFILE log-access*.log LOGFILE log-referrer*.log > 208.177.227.117 www..co.za - > [22/Sep/2000:00:16:50 -0200] "GET / HTTP/1.0" > 200 6317 > 131.179.96.41 196.33.48.195 - > [22/Sep/2000:00:25:06 -0200] "HEAD / HTTP/1.0" > 200 0 > > Referrer > [26/Sep/2000:00:01:11 -0200] > "http://www.google.com/search?q=Cream- > +milk&btnG=Google+Search" > [26/Sep/2000:00:01:13 -0200] > "http://www..co.za/education/dairystory/pg7e. > htm" > [26/Sep/2000:00:01:15 -0200] > "http://www..co.za/education/dairystory/pg7e. > htm" You may also need LOGFORMAT commands: LOGFORMAT COMMON will parse the first one, though you'll get a User Report with data from your virtual hosts (If that's what that is). The referrer should be as simple as: LOGFORMAT ([%j] "%f") See docs/logfmt.html and docs/logfile.html for details.

LOGFORMAT applies to LOGFILE lines in the same config file. If you are
specifying a LOGFILE in a different config file or on the command line, then you
want to use DEFAUTLOGFORMAT.

However, Analog will auto-detect combined log format, so you shouldn't need a
logformat command in the first place.

If you recall from your SunOS install, there are some defaults that Analog
understands, that are defined in the fiel anlghead.h. On the Windows version,
these are predefined, as the program is already compiled. One of the defaults if
LOGFILE logfile.log. So if Analog finds 'logfile.log' in the current directory,
it uses it along with any other LOGFILE commands it finds.

Going back to read you're previous email, I see that the logfile lines you
provided are not the same as the logformat you've defined above. Which is why
Analog is bombing on the extra fields.

So, back to defining a logformat. I think these should work (you need both to
handle HTTP < 1.0 and HTTP >= 1.0):
LOGFORMAT (%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r%wHTTP%j" %c %b "%f" "%B" %j)
LOGFORMAT (%S %j %u [%d/%M/%Y:%h:%n:%j] "%j%w%r" %c %b "%f" "%B" %j)
Of course, you may need to make them DEFAULTLOGFORMAT. And you also need to put
*LOGFORMAT commands before LOGFILE command that need those formats.

If you can change the format that the files are logged in to include the time, then you need to change the record separator while you're at it. Using a ';' to separate records is going t bite you, as that's a common character in user agents (as in the one you show). You can either quote the user agent or choose some more unique separator character. HTH, Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group This is the analog-help mailing list.

Perl is telling you that it doesn't know how to create a CGI object because you have removed the definition. I suspect what you meant to say was something like use CGI; use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser ); But on IIS, all messages go to the browser anyway and anlgform.pl doesn't use Carp, so you shouldn't have to have made that change.

Did you try running analog from the command line and anlgform.pl from the command line as discussed in the docs. The point where anlgform.pl has stopped indicates a failure in Analog.

Well, in CGI mode it will go to the screen. That's the same as going to the browser under a web server. If you've run it using the same settings from the command line in the same location that anlgform.pl resides and are producing a valid report, then I'm not sure what else to suggest. This is exactly what algform.pl does. Do you have other Perl/CGI scripts running on your server? Jeremy Wadsack Wadsack-Allen Digital Group This is the analog-help mailing list.
