[analog-help] First time user - help!

2002-07-05 Thread analog-help


Hi

I recently downloaded Analog and also recently have been able to access our
raw logs for our website.  Now today I changed the analog.cfg file to point
towards my file that has the downloaded log files (as instructed by the
Analog instructions) so I could get a report.  Everything seemed fine and I
'ran' Analog which just flashed up an MS Dos screen really quickly.  After
reading that it would run almost immediately the first time, I didn't think
anything of this.   I then found a 'report.htm' in my Analog file and
opened it.  At the top it stated: 

Web Server Statistics for www.fulbright.co.uk (my site) 
Program started at Thu-04-Jul-2002 11:01
Analysed requests from Fri-31-Dec-199 10:11 to Tue-04-Jan-2000 13:11

Now at first I thought 'yeh', this is my site stats but then saw the dates
and then looked through the report and realised it couldn't be as it had
things like orgs than requested files cam.ac.uk and analog.cx - which is so
not who is going to be requesting stuff from us.  Or maybe I am just
getting it all wrong.

Its really important for our organisation to get our stats monthly (largely
we need hits and visits) and I am an amateur when it comes to things like
this.  Oh one other thing, when I run a report does it save and overwrite
the one run previously? 

If anyone can offer me help, I would really appreciate it

Cheers

Lisa Ingarfield

That's not true. There is always a DNSLOCKFILE.

 Thanks for all the replies. I've added these two lines to analog.cfg:

 DNSFILE dnscache
 DNS WRITE

 When I run Analog for the first time, it would say:
 [C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
 [C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: Failed to open DNS input file
 [C:\...]dnscache: ignoring it

 When I run Analog for the second time, it would say:
 [C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
 [C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: DNS lock file [C:\...]dnslock already
 exists: backing off to DNS LOOKUP

There shouldn't be a DNS lock file, unless you have a DNSLOCKFILE
directive in your configuration. And even if you do, it should be
deleted when Analog completes successfully. But you shouldn't need it if
you are running Analog on your desktop, and don't have to worry about
two copies of Analog writing to the same DNS file at the same time.

 If I haven't mistaken, DNS LOOKUP is just to look up DNS but no DNS
 file is created.  Then that means that every time I will have to look
 up the DNS when analyzing the weekly logs?  BTW, the DNS LOOKUP works
 properly.

Use one of the DNS helper apps and set Analog to use DNS READ.

Re: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

There may be other ways, but I believe that by adding something similar to the 
following to
your analog.cfg file it will resolve host names - this will slow down the processing
considerably though please note and you must be connected to the internet when 
processing for
it to work.

DNSFILE dnscache
DNSLOCKFILE dnsloc
DNS WRITE
DNSGOODHOURS 744
DNSBADHOURS 10

Hope that helps

 Dear all,

 I've been testing out Analog during the past few days.  I'm on a shared
 hosting server and all I have access to logs.  The logs are rotated once a
 week, so I downloaded the previous week's log and generated a stats page (in
 Windows XP) with Analog.  It seems to work very nicely.

 Although I have one question, how can I resolve the DNS addresses?  When I
 click on Domain Report I get 100% unresolved numerical addresses and in
 Organization Report I get numbers.  Keep in mind that I do not own a
 server and all I do is download the logs and run Analog from my Windows home
 computer.

 I am quite ignorant in this field, so any help is appreciated.  Thanks in
 advance.

 Sincerely yours,

3.- Run Report Magic.

Specify this in analog.cfg

Because DNS lookups are slow (very slow), Analog caches DNS lookups in a
file that you specify. The next time you run Analog, it checks the file
before it does the DNS lookup, and only does a DNS lookup for new
addresses that aren't in the DNS file.

Because Analog is designed to work this way, there are a number of 3rd
party DNS helper applications that use different techniques to generate
the DNS cache file, and they can usually create the file in a few
minutes, whereas Analog can take hours. (This is not a criticism of
Analog. Because the Analog code is designed to run on many different
platforms, it uses generic techniques to do DNS lookups, and only does
them one at a time. Most of the helper apps resolve many addresses at
once, and are typically platform specific).

So when you are using a 3rd party app to create the DNS cache file, you
use

DNS READ
DSNFILE some.dns.file

Analog will only use the addresses in the dns file, and won't look up
any fresh addresses it encounters. If you specify DNS WRITE instead,
Analog will try to look any addresses that it can't find in the DNS
file, and write them to the file. If the file doesn't exist, and you
specify DNS WRITE, Analog will create it.

Can you tell me what is the IP OF YOUR DNS in the following:

qdns /Y IPOFMYDNS /Z 0 /L PATHTOMYLOG\*.log /T 500 /D dnsfile.txt /S

I see this in the help file:

  /Y [IP Address] Specify DNS server to use for lookups

But, what DNS server am I to use for lookups?

Please excuse my ignorance.  I am a programmer by nature, but like I said, I
am new to DNS lookups.  It doesn't seem like rocket science, I think I am
just ignorant of the topic.

Thanks in advance.

if you want Analog to resolve fresh IP addresses that aren't already
in the DNS cache file, then you have to use DNS WRITE.

DNS READ only reads existing records from the file. If you get new
visitors, coming from new IP addresses, then they won't be added to the
DNS file if you use DNS READ, and they will show up as unresolved
addresses in the Analog reports.

RE: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

You're awesome!  Thank you.  I'm starting to see that I'll just run a 3rd
party product to create my DNS file and I will do it to my log files each
time before I run Analog.  I'm told they work faster.  I'm looking at
QuickDNS.  The only thing I don't understand is, if the below is the syntax
for instance:

qdns /Y IPOFMYDNS /Z 0 /L PATHTOMYLOG\*.log /T 500 /D dnsfile.txt /S

what is the IPOFMYDNS?  Is it my home IP address?  I'm creating this DNS
file locally right now.

Thanks!

If you only have a couple of hundred hosts, just pick one of the DNS
server addresses and use it. If you have huge log files, with tens of
thousands of hosts in them, then you should be aware that QuickDNS can
really hammer a DNS server, so, in theory you should check with your
network administrator before doing this. If one of the DNS servers is
also doing a couple of other tasks, s/he might prefer you to use a
different DNS server, or possibly one server is running on newer
hardware, or a different OS, or there might even be a spare DNS server
in place that isn't advertised. Local knowledge is the only answer in
this situation.

Or you could schedule your first run to occur at an off peak time, to
minimise disruption.

(Note that I don't remember any reports of anyone bringing down a DNS
server using QuickDNS, but people with really huge log files tend to
have fairly big servers, and fairly robust network infrastructures. But
if you're a new Analog user suddenly looking at 3 years worth of web
logs, you might be tempted to over reach your networks abilities!)

 When did the configuration occur for DNS Servers?

Your machine is told about what DNS servers to use at the same time as
it gets it's IP address. That might be at bootup, if you are using BOOTP
or DHCP, or the information might be assigned to the machine when it was
set up. Again, your

I used QDNS for years on WIN98 with a simple link like this:
E:\analog\QDNS.EXE /G ccc-txt.cfg
I never specified a DNS server and it worked no problem.

But after I moved to a lot faster WIN2000 pro machine I can't do anything with

make it load the new IPs, none of which gets resolved, though.

Because DNS lookups are slow (very slow), Analog caches DNS lookups in a
file that you specify. The next time you run Analog, it checks the file
before it does the DNS lookup, and only does a DNS lookup for new
addresses that aren't in the DNS file.

Because Analog is designed to work this way, there are a number of 3rd
party DNS helper applications that use different techniques to generate
the DNS cache file, and they can usually create the file in a few
minutes, whereas Analog can take hours. (This is not a criticism of
Analog. Because the Analog code is designed to run on many different
platforms, it uses generic techniques to do DNS lookups, and only does
them one at a time. Most of the helper apps resolve many addresses at
once, and are typically platform specific).

So when you are using a 3rd party app to create the DNS cache file, you
use

DNS READ
DSNFILE some.dns.file

Analog will only use the addresses in the dns file, and won't look up
any fresh addresses it encounters. If you specify DNS WRITE instead,
Analog will try to look any addresses that it can't find in the DNS
file, and write them to the file. If the file doesn't exist, and you
specify DNS WRITE, Analog will create it.

Re: [analog-help] First-time user

2002-06-13 Thread analog-help

Thanks for all the replies. I've added these two lines to analog.cfg:

DNSFILE dnscache
DNS WRITE

When I run Analog for the first time, it would say:
[C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
[C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: Failed to open DNS input file
[C:\...]dnscache: ignoring it

When I run Analog for the second time, it would say:
[C:\...] analog.exe: analog version 5.23/Win32
[C:\...] analog.exe: Warning F: DNS lock file [C:\...]dnslock already
exists: backing off to DNS LOOKUP

If I haven't mistaken, DNS LOOKUP is just to look up DNS but no DNS file is
created.  Then that means that every time I will have to look up the DNS
when analyzing the weekly logs?  BTW, the DNS LOOKUP works properly.

Thanks in advance,

 There may be other ways, but I believe that by adding something similar to
the following to
 your analog.cfg file it will resolve host names - this will slow down the
processing
 considerably though please note and you must be connected to the internet
when processing for
 it to work.

 DNSFILE dnscache
 DNSLOCKFILE dnsloc
 DNS WRITE
 DNSGOODHOURS 744
 DNSBADHOURS 10

 Hope that helps

  Dear all,
 
  I've been testing out Analog during the past few days.  I'm on a shared
  hosting server and all I have access to logs.  The logs are rotated once
a
  week, so I downloaded the previous week's log and generated a stats page
(in
  Windows XP) with Analog.  It seems to work very nicely.
 
  Although I have one question, how can I resolve the DNS addresses?  When
I
  click on Domain Report I get 100% unresolved numerical addresses and
in
  Organization Report I get numbers.  Keep in mind that I do not own a
  server and all I do is download the logs and run Analog from my Windows
home
  computer.
 
  I am quite ignorant in this field, so any help is appreciated.  Thanks
in
  advance.
 
  Sincerely yours,
  Kar Yan Mak
