Of course. I'm actually parsing Apache logs on my own site, as this covers both the Zope and non-Zope portions of my page. The basic analysis isn't Zope-specific, just more Zope-accessible. For instance, hits are returned as a list of page/count pairs, and then you can format then as you wish with DTML. Any of these things that I've done could be done by other log analyzers, and I expect they have been. They could probably be done better: the real advantage of what I'm doing (in my own experience) is that I have a fair amount of control to do whatever I want, not just what was included in the software. Anyone who knows some Python would be able to have a similar amount of control. > i've been told that http://www.webalizer.org/ is pretty nice. > > a zope web logs analyzer that makes images with PIL integrated into the > control panel, is on my list of things to do although its pretty low at > the moment. I hadn't been thinking of using PIL myself -- though it would be relatively easy, I suppose, to add another layer that creates graphs from the (relatively) raw data. -- Ian ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

[Zope] Logfile analyzer
I've been making some log analysis code on my site, and have realized that a lot of other analyzers aren't that great -- or, at least, that it's nice to have the control that editting the actual code can give. (for instance, I ignore all requests that come from my ISP, since I don't need to know what my surfing habits are; I ignore all pages that end in "manage.*"; etc.) Anyway, I've been thinking of polishing and expanding what I've written some, so it's suitable for public use (or at least use by people who know Zope/Python fairly well). But this requires work that I probably wouldn't do for myself -- so I'm writing to see if there are enough people who have interest in this to make it worth it. [Or if this already exists and I just haven't found it] Cheers, Ian ___ Zope maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
