Last week somebody recommended webalizer for simple log analysis...I wanted to thank that person - since it was already installed with RH9, all I had to do was create a 'usage' folder under /var/www/html for the web pages and it automagically started working!
I was planning to ask this followup question: "Once a time period has been analyzed, do I need to keep the corresponding log files? Can I remove them, or does webalizer analyze the entire set of log files each time?"
I didn't really want to RTFM, but figured I should at least RTFFAQ and RTFreadme...they partially answered my question:
"Since Webalizer 1.2, it supports 'incremental' processing of data to process only parts of a logfile at a time." (paraphrased)
However, further reading indicates that this is meant for log files that are so big they need to be rotated _more_ than once/day. This does not apply to me...so I think my question remains unanswered:
If I delete my old log files, will Webalizer keep old monthly stats? What about yearly stats? Should I keep log files around until the end of the year? Does it it even produce yearly stats?
I noticed that last months pages are untouched since the 1st of the month, which leads me to beleive that they are NOT touched after the end of the month...
