Yes if you want a different report for each log, assuming that one log
contains entries for only one website.
They way I do this is to run the cron job the day after the day I want stats
for. So on Tuesday it'll analyse Monday's log entries etc. This can can be
automated if you use something like perl to generate the date you want to
analyse in your log file. A perl script can grab the system date, minus the
day by one and write the value into the 'FROM' and 'TO' options in
analog.cfg
This is how you'd capture the time and get the previous day:
$time = (time);
$time = $time - 86400;
$date = (gmtime($time));
You have to put elements of the date into an array to remove some
formatting:
$date =~s/\s+/|/g;
@units = split(/\|/,$date);
And this takes the contents of the array and puts them in variables:
$year = "$units[4]";
$long_year = $year;
$year =~ s/\d{2}//;
$month = "$units[1]";
$day = "$units[2]";
$n = 0;
$zero = 0;
$line = 1;
$report = "report.html";
Because analog uses numeric values in the 'FROM' and 'TO' you have to create
an array of months:
@months_list = (qw(Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov Dec));
and choose the correct number of the month in the year, so December is
obviously 12:
while ($month ne $months_list[$n]) {
$n++;
}
$month_num = $n + 1;
Then you can generate the values for 'FROM' and 'TO' with the following
line:
print NEWFILE "FROM $year$month_num$zero$day\nTO
$year$month_num$zero$day";
I guess I should have mentioned that a working knowledge of perl is required
to understand/set this up, but to be honest I learnt the perl basics just to
do this and once you get the hang of it you can automate analog in various
ways with different options.
Hope this at least gives you some ideas : )
