Hi Benjamin, I use Webalizer (http://www.webalizer.org) for most of my log analysis - it does great reports for Apache log files, and ftp log files. Not sure about IIS logs, I suppose it depends on the logging formats. With a bit of imagination and some scripting knowledge you can usually get most log types into a recognisable format - I run my qmail log files through a sed script and get detailed output of email traffic throughput. There are other similar tools out there, but I find this one the best. Regards, Ciaran
