Hello Edward,
I saw your posting on the EZproxy mailing list and was wondering if you
could help me out.
I took a look at your stats below and this is similar to the types of
reports I'd like to create from our EZproxy log files. Log files and SPU
logs are generated on a monthly basis on our EZproxy server (which is a
Windows server). I downloaded Analog 6.0 on a PC running Windows XP for
the purposing of generating usage statistics; I'm new to both
applications, especially Analog.
I'm writing because I'm wondering how you were able to get Analog to
work. I tried running it on a couple of smaller log files to test it out
by running the following command: analog ezp200801.log
But got the following error message:
analog: analog version 6.0/Win32
analog: Warning E: Redirecting future diagnostic messages to errors1.txt
(For help on all errors and warnings, see docs/errors.html)
I have the following entered into the EZproxy configuration file:
## Logfile directives added 2006-04-04, LogSPU added 2006-05-18
LogFile -strftime ezp%Y%m.log
LogFormat %h %{ezproxy-session}i %u %t "%r" %s %b %{referer}i
LogSPU -strftime spu%Y%m.log %h %{ezproxy-session}i %u %t "%r" %s %b
%{ezproxy-groups}i %v %{referer}i
I attached my error report but I'm starting to thinking the analog
configuration file (analog.cfg) might need to be adjusted; actually, I'm
not sure where to begin. Can you give me some pointers?
Thank you so much in advance,
Tammy

Subject: Re: [ezproxy] Logs and Reporting Tools
We also use Analog, especially because of its convenient FILEALIAS
command, which helps me in grouping database information. Our log files
are about 300MB on average and they process fast with no problems on a
Linux box - about 2-3 minutes.
The cumulative report processes 1.1 GB of gzipped log files - many GB of
ungzipped data, but analog processes them from GZ format directly. The
most recent cumulative run took just under 70 minutes on a dual-CPU
Linux server w/2GB of RAM.
You can see some of our stats at:

We have several other reports generated, but those are not available
outside of out IT section as most include usernames or
departmental/usergropu breakdowns, etc.

>I use Analog, a free, customizable reporting tool to create html
reports on ezproxy.log files. Each month the log is approximately .5GB
in size. It takes around 2 minutes for this to run. I want to run them
on a quarterly basis (so I used some fancy DOS commands to combine
files). Is there some other, better, easier or ezproxy way to do this?
>So now, obviously, I have a file size of approximately 1.5GB. When I
run the report, 16 hours later, I still have no results and of course it
kills my machine (not a server). Can some give feedback on their
approximate file sizes? I'm sure after some of the more recent posts,
I'm going to be advised to choose a different tool, however, I was going
with free. Any feedback is appreciated.
