Analog can read tar archives, but the tar file header will prevent Analog 
from auto detecting the log file format. It may occasionally also cause 
Analog to misunderstand the very first log entry of each included file, 
although that would be rare. As long as you explicity specify the log 
format, don't use AUTO, it should work.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For

as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.

If you can get your tar to decompress the logs to STDOUT, then Analog
will read them. Something like this should work:

 UNCOMPRESS *.tar.gz (tar xzOf)

[analog-help] Tar Archives and Analog

2002-08-21 Thread analog-help

I've got Analog running well on my Apache/Mac OS X system.  It's a great 
lil program!

One thing I'm wondering about:  Can it read gzipped log files that are also 
tar archives?

Currently, I've set it to read gzip files that contain just one log 
file.  But I'd like to make a tar archive of several log files and then 
gzip it. When I've tried this, Analog does not recognize the format of 
these gzipped tar archives.

The docs explain how to get gzip working, but I couldn't find anything 
about tar archives.

Can anyone give me a hand?  Thanks!
