hello all-
i'm new to the log analysis process, but in need of pulling
together a nifty automated procedure. i've downloaded analog 4.0 running on NT
4.0 processing IIS 4.0. my goal is to automate the log retrieval process, log
analysis process, and log archiving process. i was wondering if anyone could
offer some advice on how they have automated their analog/NT system. some
questions i have include: what NT program are you using to automate daily
routines? how to automate analog if the log file & output file is specified
in the .cfg file? are you zipping or gzipping the log files? before or after
analog analyzes them? are you placing the log files on some external storage
system?
for sites that run cummulative reports such as the analog site
(which i'm sure are automated in some way), are the log files being dumped into
one directory, and analog runs reports on the group as a whole each
day?
let me know if there's any other pointers you can offer to an
analog NT newby!!
thanks in advance!!
