Or FIRSTDATE, depending on what field that is.

No, sorry, that's not what I meant.


I want the request report broken down by date. E.g. if file X has been fetched in day 1 and day 2, then I'd like to see TWO lines for file X, each detailing the total downloads for that file for ONE day.

This is not possible in Analog alone. Analog does not do "two dimensional" analysis of hits in this way, because it would require it to keep a two-dimensional array of counters: pages down one axis and the date down the other. The reason for this, as has been explained previously on the list, is to keep Analog's run time and memory usage within reasonable limits.


You may be able to get this effect in the following way:

  * Use one run of Analog to generate the list of the N most
    popular pages. Use it's "OUTPUT COMPUTER" option to give
    you that list in a machine-readable form.

  * Write a script which takes that list and runs Analog to
    generate a report on each page you're interested in. You
    can turn off all the other reports except the Daily Report,
    and then you'll get a nice small report on each page.

Or you can use some of the add-on scripts, links to which you'll find on the Analog website.

Of course this requires Analog to run through the log file multiple times, once for each of the N pages, but that'll be a lot less memory-intensive than having a program do it all in one go.

Hope that helps,

Stil
