We rotate logs every Sunday a.m. when system load is minimal. We then run jdrsolve on the most recent log and produce a new file. Next we run analog on the new file produced by jdresolve. After analog has produced all reports, we discard the new file and archive the original log file (we can reproduce another file with jdresolve, but we cannot reproduce the original log file). We get 99.7% name resolution in recursive mode. jdresolve is fairly quick and doesn't need much overhead. It takes a little time to determine the optimal configuration for jdresolve, but the results at the end of each run provide useful data to use in the configuration process. If you intend to use large log files (2.5+ GB), you might wish to use a small sample (100 MB) of your log file to find the optimal configuration before using it on a production level.
