I am not handling this at the Apache level because I have about 40+ different sites running on this one box. I want to be able to run server wide statistics from the 'master' log file, then I want to strip it apart into the separate pieces, pipe that piece to Analog and dump the results into the vhost folder for the site owner to view.
I don't want to have to collect and run through 40 individual files, I want to have the system do the work creating temporary vhost log files and processing them. That mod to my shell script is kind of what I am looking for. I guess I wasn't sure if I could do that with Perl as well. --------------------------------------- Jeremy Schwartz Starmark Interactive Developer [EMAIL PROTECTED] 954-761-1600 > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Date: Mon, 3 Feb 2003 12:32:05 -0600 > To: "Jeremy Schwartz" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "Andy Lester" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Search for a string > > > ------------------------------------------------ > On Mon, 03 Feb 2003 13:09:47 -0500, Jeremy Schwartz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > >> Not trying to reinvent the wheel. >> >> I am using Analog for the analysis. >> >> I am trying to split the server combined log into individual vhost logs.
