I was going to say yes, but I decided to test it first, and I came across something that surprised me. By default, Analog assumes that logs on a Windows system are case insensitive, and logs on a unix system are case sensitive. It handles the case insensitive situation by lowercasing everything. BUT!!! Items are only aliased once. So when you use FILEALIAS on Windows, you bypass the automatic lowercasing for that request, but the FILEINCLUDE command IS lowercased, so all of a sudden, you have a mismatch between /FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 and /feba5e7b-f1f6-975e-7040a72105801b36 In other words, if you're on Windows, you need to add "CASE SENSITIVE" to the analog.cfg file too, if you use the FILEALIAS technique. On the other hand, if you just use FILEINCLUDE /*?*FEBA5E7B-F1F6-975E-7040A72105801B36 then case isn't an isue, but you will probably also want REQFLOOR 1r REQARGFLOOR 1r if you're doing your tests with one-line logfiles, and DIRSUFFIX index.cfm PAGEINCLUDE *.cfm might also be useful.
